Original Toronto Star caption: Uninviting heap of garbage surrounds a sign small park anyway. It's one of the temporary dumps prohibiting ball playing in a park on Belsize Dr. near Mount Pleasant; and takes up much of the area of the small park anyway. It's one of the temporary dumps set up by Toronto during the nine-day-old strike of 4;000 public service employees; including garbagemen.
