Oakes Garden Theatre

    Another updated gallery that I put up recently is of the Oakes Garden Theatre. This is a beautiful park at the very bottom of Clifon Hill at River Road.

    The Niagara Parks web site describes it in this way:

    Oakes Garden TheatreOriginally constructed in 1936, Oakes Garden Theatre was built in the form of an amphitheatre. By capitalizing on the contours of the landscape, a fan shaped curved pergola was constructed. Rock gardens, lily ponds, and shrub borders have all been built around formalized gardens. Queenston limestone was extensively used around the perimeter of the property. Attractive ornamental iron gates were incorporated into the design for aesthetic and functional purposes. The site plays host to concerts throughout the year and provides an attractive formalized entrance statement to Queen Victoria Park.

    There are flowers, a pond, a fountain, and a beautiful lawn where you could have a picnic. No wonder people have wedding photos taken there.

    Be sure to check out the Oakes Garden Theatre gallery!
