The Secret Swing

I have been hearing about this hidden playground (spadina/augusta area) for quite some time but I had no idea that some jerk took it upon themselves to destroy it. The swing, found between two converging buildings just off of the graffiti alley behind Queen West stores, had its seat and chains cut off in late November. It was recently replaced by two kind souls. On the bottom of the swing, in writing, it says: “The Secret Swing belongs to the people of Toronto.” Photography by Jenny Gao
