(though not in appearance or design) I found the following two paragraphs confusing and overly POV. If other editors are more familiar with Ontario Place and can incorporate some of the material from these, please do.

The expanded intent of the barrier islands was extremely successful, but this success was no accident. It was purposefully designed to have many sheltered, peaceful spaces with multiple uses, to coinicide surprisingly near to many exciting bustling places, but using landscaping to cleverly shelter one from the other, making the various zones close enough to allow a visitor to easily walk between them: and it worked wonderfully.

The canals were ideal cool, shady and sheltered places to canoe, there was a rocky beach facing the open lake on the western side, a small pond to cool one's feet in the middle of the commercial section, a central concert area (The Forum) which was purposefully in the centre of the complex, which one would walk through on the way to other points, often to be entertained by a musical act while on one's way, chosing to stay and enjoy the concert or not.

Whoever wrote them was leaving this in and it would just confuse newcomers so I took out and plop it here, personally, I am just the messanger/janitor. --Mikerussell 03:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy Surrounding Park

There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the continued operation of the park, at least there was a few years ago. It would be nice if someone who is knowledgeable on the subject could write about this.

Also about the changes that have taken place in the park over the last 10 years abbandoning its adult audience converting most of the park to a childrens exhibit.

Fair use rationale for Image:OPLogo.JPG

Image:OPLogo.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
