You can build all the inner city public spaces you want, but if people just wanna drive home to the burbs & chill out in their backyards it's a big waste of money.

I have faith in this park getting used when complete. With Bridgeland right across the river, East Village finally building, and Inglewood and Ramsay right nearby there should be plenty of people wandering over to enjoy it. Plus with the new Riverwalk pathway system it will easily become part of a nice river circuit for those biking/blading along.
Then add some food trucks into the mix on the east end and you are golden.
Edit: This is only a lazy 10 minute bike ride away from most of Hillhurst-Sunnyside and those yuppy environs. We'll flood into that park in a flash!
I also bet it will be quite busy when things shut down most of Prince's Island, like Folk Fest.
