13-year-old Dizzy has long been a fixture on historic Draper Street in downtown Toronto. Now, the portly feline inspired the city’s first cat-themed park. Designed by Montreal-based landscape architect Claude Cormier, the cat-themed promenade will feature 15 to 20 statuettes of cats in various poses and positions, including noble Dizzy likenesses that will greet pedestrians at the north and south entrances. There will also be mice statuettes hidden throughout the promenade “like a treasure hunt,” says Cormier. For more about Dizzy and the park he inspired, please visit Toronto Metro.
