Many of the playground features, bike paths and trails of Biidaasige Park, located in the new 98 acre island of the $1.4 Billion Lower Don Lands Revitalization, opened this weekend revealing the stunning transformation of the formerly polluted industrial lands of the Portlands. Already lush from all the plantings crews have done the past few years, the new river valley, ponds and creeks now teaming with life.
