[Mille Sabords]

So far, it's "D" for me. Like others have said, I think its blend of urban and bucolic spaces is the right one. The sweeping line that becomes the footbridge is spectacular, although I would give it a Clegg Street end as well, or replace the alignment with Clegg-Fifth. Most of all, I think that design really brings all of Lansdowne's elements together, from Bank Street right through to the water. I am very impressed with the market stands that can be opened or closed for different seasons and double as screens or stage backgrops. Love the idea! As for the water feature, I like the variety of edges: some are naturalized (marsh-like) and offer real potential for contact-with-nature teachings, others are urban edges with a boardwalk, each at the right place. The water also defines the park's spaces better than the other designs, I think, by clearly demarcating areas that have their own flavour, look and function. The promenade from Aberdeen to the canal would be a breathtaking public space.
