This is the High Park labyrinth. Kerri spent a long time searching for it because it sounds more fun than it is.
It was designed to make people more in tune with nature.
To accomplish this, they paved paradise and put up some modern art.
The instructions say to enter the labyrinth with a question or special intention in mind. Kerri’s question was “is this just a giant waste of space?”
Then you walk along the path. There are no choices, no dead ends, nothing of interest in any way. It is simply a long, snaking, unidirectional path. Finally, you wrap around the outside and get excited because you’re nearly done. But then they throw a jog to the right in there just to mess with you.
Then you are in the middle. Where you are supposed to spend as long as you like before turning around and walking the same path in reverse. Kerri spent only long enough to take a few bad selfies.
She did discover the answer to her question though. It’s actually a rather efficient use of space for fitbit owners. It is probably the most compact way to make someone walk 866 steps.
Of course it would make more sense if you installed it in your living room, instead of in a giant park with plenty of walking paths.
