Are you sure the City actually shut it down? Did you call 311 to ask?

The sign looks like it has been out somewhere for a long time. Are you sure whoever wrote the sign that is next to it didn't find it somewhere else like The Fly, and use it as an opportunity to make what they think is a really clever political point? I mean, I live right by City Park and it has been open the entire time. The small playgrounds here and there and the facilities are closed, but the park itself if open.

It's all over the Irish channel Facebook page. The city sent workers out and put similar signs around the basketball court and playset. When I passed earlier, several people were sunning themselves in the grass by the signs. It just seems like an odd thing to do after so many weeks when all metrics are pointing to a lifting of the restrictions rather than a doubling down. It's incredibly condescending and weak minded of the city, as if they are trying to remind us who's in charge, just in case we didn't know what's good good for us.
