Maybe they could turn the actual street into a rink rather than part of the park?

I'd like to skate along King St (the south leg of course haha) up to Infussions, buy a hot chocolate (I'd assume they'd open a lil booth right beside their patio) and continue to skate around.

They could seperate the street into different sections/rinks: one for little kids, one for playing hockey, and one for everyone else!

Pedestrianizing Gore has so many opportunities rather than just a street people can walk on, which is what most Hamiltonians perceive this idea as.
Look how many ideas we've come up with already!!

Wintertime = Ice Rinks / Winterfest / New Years Party a-la Times Square or Nathan Phillips Sq
Summertime = Festival Grounds (different festival every week a-la Montréal)
Springtime = Kid's Easter Parade/Party
Fall = Halloween Bash such as the one in TO on Church St / Rememberence Day Ceremony the likes the Gore used to see

If they just left it as a street to walk on 75% of the year, then maybe the stores along Gore wouldn't get as much business.
BUT if they were to hold events in the Gore all year long, retail would boom!
