Sidewalk

pets for walks, hang out in the gazebo or picnic tables, play sports, indulge in markets and events, splash in the water pad, and more, all with the comfortability of park Wi-Fi and security of cameras. With accessibility to many activities, the park carries a welcoming vibe to new comers who are looking for a place to maybe take a walk or play with friends or family and hang in the sunlight. A closer observation of the park however will discover issues of location, privacy, technology, environmental concerns, and a disassociation between age and social groups of Sackville’s town members.

The walk up to the Johnstone Park is paved along with benches, oak trees, and decorative rocks, with chalk drawn by children and doggy bags by the map post, a beautiful functioning fountain, the welcoming shouts of students playing in basketball tournaments and children running through the splash pad, while parents sit in the gazebo and more students under trees or along the benches lining the pathway with picnic tables on the grass, most on their tablets or phones. With seating options throughout the park, splash pads and swings, internet, water fountains (drinkable), and activities for…

St. Anthony streets made me feel “home-y” even though I have never lived there and it's because of the uniqueness of the place. The mature trees, varieties of…

Although these groups were not directly interacting with one another, I noticed similarities in their activities of choice in this location and the shared usage of the public space. Based on my observations of George Street and…
