Interesting. The current situation may just be the legacy of all that, and they never bothered to make any significant changes? But considering all of the other changes and additions in the park over the decades, it seems odd. Maybe they were expecting heavier vehicle traffic on the surrounding streets but it never came to be?

 

Anyway, it should be a piece of cake to add a handful of new entry points. Ten million bucks and 18 months work, tops.

Full disclosure: I actually prefer some definition of a park's boundaries, with designated access points in various places rather than it being wide open all around. For example, I'd say the Harris Green east of Cook Street really suffers for not having anything in the way of a hedge or short iron fence or whatever along Pandora. It could be a legit park space, but instead it remains a gigantic traffic island.

Windsor Park is great but I agree they should add maybe two or three more entrances.
