Rail fan? I sometimes used to watch them from the foot bridge at Spring Gardens Rd. (when I lived in Burlington I'd often sit at Spencer Smith and watch the ships coming in and out of the harbour too; sometimes I'd walk right to the channel if I saw one coming in from the lake).

I think keeping it as a park would be the best idea too. Maybe widen the sidewalk into a proper multi-use pathway that would connect to the HHS campus. The city could even create another one heading north along Wellington (it's old but cleared industrial land... I'd like to see it used for something productive someday, but no reason a path can't be in the mix). They'd have to improve the sidewalk at Burlington St., but a connection right to Eastwood and then Pier 8 would make a really great looping trail system.
