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.
