Playter Gardens sits at the northeastern end of the Prince Edward Viaduct, a stamp-sized park bordering Cambridge Avenue and Danforth. Overgrown and untended, crack-pipes are often found littered around the park. Only one flower garden still remains to back up Playter’s namesake. Instead, high grasses and dead branches lie in the dense shadow of dangerously leaning trees.
