Oakes
Garden Theatre:
Originally 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.
