Fountain and all is nice, but is seldom used by people outside the development, except for wedding photos in the summer it seems.

It's also attached to a Community Centre. Sure, it's shaped like a courtyard, but it should become obvious to anyone after living there a few years the park is intended for the public use. If not...so sad.

there is a ratio of park space to residents in a certain area the city wants to keep. and i have to say that more park space the better. all these places going in have no green space at all so it needs to be offset with new green-space. the current number of resident are served but with all the new ones, you need new park space.
also, parks on a roof is a terrible idea for usability from a neighbourhood stand point. i know Oakridge is some big new thing, but i am leery if people who use it will actually be from outside the development.

No, only 2- One of them is Oakridge T. Centre Park. There's also mini-parks going into the Heather Lands. Oakridge is not an area lacking in green space.
