Imagine a shrunken Dufferin Grove Park surrounded by highrise apartment towers and you&#8217;re starting to get the picture.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, and with the help of a non-profit called <a href=\"http:\/\/mabellearts.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mabelle Arts<\/a>, area residents have transformed Mabelle Park with new benches, a bake oven, and a community garden, among other things. They have also imagined new ways to inhabit the space &#8211; and, by extension, the city &#8211; through ceremony, ritual, camp fires, and sleepovers. The park has been gaining attention among park advocates as a model of how community engagement and art can lead to greater park stewardship and more creative spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The walk begins at the northwest exit of Islington Subway Station at 4:30 pm on Saturday. If you&#8217;ve still got room in your walking schedule this weekend, you won&#8217;t regret adding this one to the list.
