At the public stakeholder group meeting, there seemed to be a leaning towards the third option as the favourite as well. As you noted, the inviting entrance along the entire length of King William was well liked, with its art plaza linking to the already exisiting art walk along the street. The water feature+bridge at the Northeast end of the park that decends the slight grade change was also well received.
It's worth mentioning that having good sight lines through the park from all the surrounding streets to ensure safety is apparently a priority of the design, so the trees covering the park along King William in the other 2 options may not be as obtrusive as they appear in plan view.
