On the afternoon I'm slated to meet Adrian Currie, Westmoreland Parkette is more skating rink than playground. The previous evening's rain froze over the small park's footpath, making its modern seesaws and swings inaccessible to all but the bravest and most unsupervised children.
Still, it's a beautiful day: bright, blue, and temperate for a Toronto winter. The benches and picnic table are dry enough to sit at, even if no one else has elected to. A few curious passers-through stop long enough to percuss a couple of notes on the park's metal instruments, overlapping the muffled din of midday Bloor Street traffic.
