These are signs found on the fence surrounding Toronto’s Bloordale Beach—a landlocked oasis that exists for the sake of repurposing otherwise wasted land, for creating shortcuts, and for the sake of humour, too.
Caption:
Bloordale Beach was officially inaugurated on May 25, 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has made social/physical distancing a real pleasure during these unprecedented times. It’s a great place to relax, sunbathe, and forage for weeds, and is proudly Toronto’s only beach with a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. The thing about Bloordale Beach is it’s totally a real beach, with live killdeer and actual sand.
