As someone who likes Club77 and Dirty Dogs occasionally, especially for their EDM bookings, I do not like the building there with the design of this park personally. I do think it takes away from the design, and if it remains a club, people will spill out and use the park for less than desirable reasons. I know this because I am in the age group that uses the club, and know people that would do this.
That said, it sucks to lose a real downtown club, and I hope Hamilton creates an environment that a safer and more interesting club scene can happen, because Hess just sucks, and Club77 should be moved, and there aren't even really any gay bars (coming from a straight dude with a few gay friends).
If Hamilton wants to be attracting young people, they cannot simply push out all slightly less desirable clubs, bars and nightlife attractions. I really like the park here, but we all don't want to go for a lonely stroll on a Friday night through an empty city, some of us want to dance.
