Its easy to miss the significance of an open green space. Lately the city has been renovating the parks to include activities like skateboard park, fenced in baseball fields, kids play areas, water works. It sounds great and certainly brings more layers to the community, however, it also gobbles up what little green space remains. Trenholme park has quite a few installations already, at least two thirds of the park area is fenced off or built upon. Last summer they had a poster up, showing plans to fill the rest of it in with activity stations. So this kind of painting shows a big, open green space, with the significance being that we should try to appreciate it for what it is.
