Accessibility
Accessible parking is available throughout the Park in all major parking lots.
Accessible washrooms are located throughout the Park at the following locations: The Pavilion, near the Lyric Theatre, Park Café, Leo Mol Gallery in the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden, and the Nature Playground. Please note that Leo Mol Gallery and Nature Playground washrooms are only open during the summer months once the ground is thawed.
Formal pathways within the Park are all relatively flat. Primary pathways in the Park are asphalt or paving stones. Please note there are some compact gravel and mulch paths, predominantly in the gardens. Our grounds team keeps primary pathways clear throughout the whole year. How quickly they are cleared is dependent on the weather. Benches and picnic tables are available throughout the Park.
