Scores are not bell-curved. Percentiles and expected scores provide context without changing the underlying model.
Explain this score
Where did the 41 come from? Each weighted contribution against a neutral 50 baseline. Green = pushed up; red = pulled down.
Sum of contributions = the headline score. A negative bar means that dimension dragged the park below the city-wide neutral baseline.
Why this park works
What limits this park
Most distinctive characteristic
Jacobs reading
Tradeoffs
- Connectivity (73) significantly outpaces natural comfort (36) — well placed in the city but offers little shade or ecological respite.
- The park is enclosed by buildings (84) but the surrounding streets are quiet (edge activation 17) — frame without animation.
Performance in context
- A modest overperformer for its urban plaza typology (+5 vs the median in pocket Urban Plaza).
Typology classification
Classified as Urban Plaza: 866 m², paved (0% canopy), 63.9 buildings/100 m
Edge Activation
Within 100 m of the park edge: 26 active uses (retail, restaurant, cafe) and 8 dead/hostile uses (parking_lot, highway). Active edges keep "eyes on the park" through the day; parking lots, blank institutional walls, rail and highway frontages drain street life.

Connectivity
Connectivity blends paths, intersections, transit, entrances, and edge density. This park has 8 mapped paths/walkways and 13 sidewalk segments within 50 m; 13 street intersections within 100 m; 19 transit stops within a 400 m walk; 3 estimated access points across ~121 m of perimeter. edge density is healthy — no superblock penalty. Source coverage: centreline, pedestrian_network, transit_osm.

Amenity Diversity
No amenities recorded — score is 0 until inventory is loaded.

Natural Comfort
Natural-comfort components for this park: ~2.8% effective canopy (0.0% from contiguous tree polygons + scattered tree density); nearest waterbody ~972 m; 4 city-mapped trees inside the polygon (4.0/ha). Reading: exposed. Source coverage: waterbodies, street_trees. Impervious surface is approximated (Toronto's authoritative layer ships only as a raster GeoTIFF).

Enclosure / Eyes on Park
77 buildings within 25 m of the park edge (6 mid-rise, 71 low-rise, 0 tower); avg edge height 7.0 m (~2 floors); 63.9 buildings per 100 m of 121 m perimeter — strong frontage density; edges are low-rise (mostly 2–3 floors); no towers immediately adjacent. "Eyes on the park" come strongest from the 6 mid-rise edge buildings.

Border Vacuum Risk
Border-vacuum factors within 50 m of the park: parking_lot. Jacobs warned that highways, rail, parking lots and blank institutional edges act as "vacuums" — they suppress foot traffic and isolate the park from its neighbourhood.

Does this score feel accurate?
Your read of Logan Green Fieldmatters. We’re testing whether the model lines up with how people actually use the park. Submissions are stored locally; no account needed.
Tell us how this park feels
We measure structure (canopy, edges, connectivity). You measure feeling. Both matter — and disagreement is itself useful civic data.
What would improve this park?
Generated from the weakest measured dimensions — a starting point, not a prescription.
- Activate the edges: encourage cafés, retail or community uses on the streets that face the park; replace blank or parking-lot edges where possible.
- Diversify what people can do in the park — playground, washroom, water, shade, performance, sport, garden — even small additions raise this score.
- Increase canopy and reduce paved area. Shade and water features extend usable hours and seasons.
