There is a lot of work to be done in the development of our little park. The site is now just a triangular grassed area at the centre of town. It is bound by streets on two sides and a parking lot on the third.

The illustration below shows the layout of the site. The parking lot and street boundaries are shown in yellow. the blue line represent the edge of an old road bed that used to exist here. The lot slopes from the old road bed down to the cyan line where it levels. The edge of the ditch is shown in green and its centre line is red.

The length of the site along the parking lot is about 66 metres. The length on the other side shown as the blue line is about 33 metres. The width at its widest point, from the parking lot to Vanier Ave. is about 33 metres.

Sundial Site looking toward the Winnipeg River This photo shows the site from the parking lot stop sign located at Vanier Ave. The far two lamp standards have been removed. The pile of clay is the start of a viewing hill that will be elevated above the sundial base. This will give visitors a view of the sundial from a point higher than the base itself.
