The best quote is from the Free Press:

Some members of Winnipeg's real estate industry, however, are fuming over what they describe as a lack of access to the site, which was once sublet to the Winnipeg Goldeyes and is currently used as a City of Winnipeg parking lot.

"If that land was in play, why wouldn't they bring it into play for everyone? There are many, many things that would deliver greater value for that land," said one private-sector real estate expert.

"I'm very, very shocked a high-quality parcel of land is being dedicated to a water park when there are clearly better uses, like high-density residential or an office development. It was never available on the public market."
