We visited the new farmers market twice and although it’s great that it’s bigger and has more vendors, the layout is awkward and parking is not nearly big enough. Sometimes you have to park blocks away. The old one you could use the mall and it was great.its also a big confusion as to where you can and can’t drive. Super awkward. Pros and cons I guess but I don’t go nearly as often.

Busy side streets that are crowded and no traffic lights, no thanks

The weird layout and parking situation at the new location is too much of an ordeal. The old location was better.

Don't like the layout of the new location at all. Don't plan on going as much as I used to.

The Parkinson's Senior's Centre is closed Saturdays although the Rec Centre is open. The Senior's Centre does have busy fitness classes on Wednesdays.

lol, i don't like the layout, i am an aesthetic shopper and i refuse to support a farmer's market with a less than pleasing layout

We stopped going. Can't be bothered to deal with the traffic and congestion at the new location as well as how it hurts the local businesses because there's no parking for their customers.

Too complicated trying to understand the map and work out where to park. Won't be going again.

Does this city ever think completely through anything? Do they realize we are dependant on our cars for everything and we need parking? Why do we pay a city manager over half a million a year to do squat?
Its funny to cause Parkinson parking lot is always plugged with CITY VEHICLES!!!

The farmers market has completely lost the market appeal. It's now just an outdoor commercial district. Very disappointing.
