Completely agree. When Bayfront and Pier 4 parks opened it really changed the city for the better, despite having assets like that in relative abundance.
People lament the losses of greenspace (suburban, Red Hill Valley, etc.) and some are lamentable, but overall Hamilton is blessed with some terrific parks and trails that are very accessible to people. West harbour and the trail to Princess Point, the Beach Strip pathway and parks along it from the ship channel all the way through Confederation, the rail trails, RBG and Dundas Valley trails, the paths and parks along the escarpment edge, Fifty Point and other conservation areas very close to the urban area... there are many other examples too.
The new developments at piers 7 and 8 will add some great amenities to a long list that's already in existence.
