Anyone supporting intensification should also be supporting amenities like neighbourhood parks. Otherwise intensification doesn’t work. I don’t know that this is actually going to be out of commission for 7 years, but if so that is too long for a neighbourhood that is going to have several thousand new residents

Downtrodden was an extreme word. Maybe it was just a dry day when the aerial was taken for google maps. My apologies for that. I was just expecting a far more valuable green space than a couple of soccer fields considering all the hubbub. There is an immense amount of non sport greens space within easy walking distance. If I was a resident of the neighbourhood I would gladly sacrifice two soccer fields for a few years to gain the incredible facilities that are planned for my neighbourhood.
