Although it is very nice to have a park(ette) named after you, Robertson Davies might be justified in feeling a bit like Rodney Dangerfield.
I doubt if you could even lay a blanket down to have a picnic in this park.But all the same, having your own park right on Avenue Road is not too shabby, regardless of the size.
Although he has written lots, my favourite book of his is "What's Bred In The Bone."

One of my fave authors.
He was/is pretty fabulous. In defense of the park, it is a fairly prominent one for riders of the Avenue Road bus ;-)
Have you seen the statue of Al Purdy in Queen's Park? Now that is an honour! One of the few public statues of a hero of the arts - all the rest are politicians or generals...
