Looking southwest from Gould St, just east of Victoria St, towards the Devonian Square’s reflecting pool/ice skating rink at the Toronto Metropolitan University campus in downtown Toronto.
Devonian Square, part of what was then Ryerson Community Park, opened on October 13, 1978. Massive Precambrian boulders from the Muskoka region’s Canadian Shield are strewn about the “Lake Devo” pool.
The square’s name originates from The Devonian Foundation of Calgary, which donated the principal funds for the project. Also, notice the CN Tower visible in the background of the archive photo.
