Located at Royal York & Lake Crescent this rather small park offers a classic look at what swings and slides use to look like from the mid 90's. This small area offers a bench, a few swing sets, a slide, waste and recycling a bins and a small grassy area to play.

It seems there will be some renovations coming to this small park and it can be seen online. Regardless of the size this park offers residents in the near by area an opportunity to get out and enjoy the park.

Just because they have the nostalgic playground pieces I give this park a 4/5.

I really enjoyed my time in Quebec City and visited this mall. It's very large in scale and was under construction during the visit. There is a huge portential to bring in some great retail experiences that would attract visitors from all over the world.

Plenty of parking and you would definitely get your steps in. It's best to plan your trip ahead of your visit as you may get lost going from building to building. There is usually 2 floors in each separate building.
Pho House

Hey family,

Here’s an honest review of my visit to PHO HOUSE located at 5230 Dundas St W, Etobicoke, ON. My girlfriend and I visited for lunch on January 4th, 2022 just before Ontario shuts down dine-in and I wanted to share my lunch experience with you below:

Location/ Business amenities: 1 out of 1 star
This restaurant is very easy to get too considering it’s close proximity to Kipling station and Dundas street. The only catch is it shares the parking lot with other notable businesses including a Shoppers Drug Mart. It can get a little busy during rush hour however let’s not lose sight of the fact that parking is free and the restaurant is easily accessible. They also offer a 10% off on take-out for orders above $25 before taxes. In cash! :) This is if the restaurant is busy and you aren’t feeling the wait. This restaurant is also listed on major apps including UBER EATS.

Staffing: 1 out of 1 star
Upon entry you’re instantly greeted by a head host. They give you plenty of dining options including dine-in. take-out, delivery or pick up later in the evening. We opted for dine-in as the restaurant had few guests and this will be our last chance before shutdowns. Plus we were craving fresh Pho.

Service: 1 out of 1 star
From the moment we sat down and ordered our drinks we waited very little for our food. The service was great and well paced. The table had all of our condiments and eating utensils. Tables were clean and sanitized as staff cleans after every guest leaves.

Food: 1 out of 1 star
The food arrived hot and fresh. We ordered the Cripsy Chicken Spring rolls for appetizers, Pho House Special Rice Noodle Soup as our main and shared a delicious Sweet & Sour Chicken with steamed rice. The food was very well presented and tasted fresh. Everything was perfectly prepared and we were also able to take it home for leftovers.

Wow factor: Half a star
This is where it gets tricky to review a restaurant based on the atmosphere and experience based on everything going on but the business could use a little bit of love and an upgrade to the overall decorum and furniture. It was a bit cold with CP24 playing in the background. There is music but still doesn’t capture the cozy dining experience. This is why I give it half a star. No doubt this business has faced challenges with the pandemic and I’m hoping the local community tastes and experiences this wonderful food so the business continues to thrive and stay afloat.

Overall we enjoyed our last lunch out for some time. All of the condos in the surrounding area are lucky to have this restaurant close and if you’re feeling some Pho no doubt you have to give this place a try. We are very happy with our restaurant choice and hope to visit again soon. With that I give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Until next time…
