To the editor: Re: "Should a West End park be renamed Joe Fortes Park?" July 12.
As a longtime West End resident (having moved here as a 24-year-old college student in 1998, I still reside here now with my three-year-old son and husband), this park has always brought a kind of sadness to me since it is so obviously underused and ignored. Being in such a prime location as well as the fact that the neighbourhood still needs more family spaces as well as playgrounds, I have always envisioned this park to include more family programming and really, anything to just activate it.
