This is really a park?

Both photos are from a park near downtown Montreal.  It is a small park.  The sign state the name of the park.  Park around here have name of significant people.  On this one, it is the name of a culinary teacher,  The park is at the corner of two streets.

What I like about park: it is a great place to be inspired.  No stress, no worries and an empty mind.  Perfect state of mind to come up with project.  My problem iwht the park above is the small space for the park.  No choice other than looking at the ugly builing facing this park.  I should have taken a photo of the buildings across the street.  Not very inspiring.  The good part: there is another park nearby that is bigger and better situated. 

So, park is a good thing, in general.  Perfect for some summer inspiration.  The above park is a bit more of a challenge.  It is not the only one like that.  I am sure there are other parks stuck like that.  I am sure there would be a way to beautified them even more.  Maybe adding some bushes or flowers?
