Victoria Park - Kitchener - Ontario- Canada

            HERITAGE VALUE
Victoria Park Square was first laid out as a park in Lewis Burwell's original Town Plan of 1830. In 1861, it was landscaped based on plans by John Turner. Turner's plans, in keeping with Upper Canada's link to Britain, were based on the configuration of the Union Jack, with four paths intersecting at the centre of the park. Three buildings designed by Turner overlook the park: St. Andrew's United Church (1859); Brant Community Church (1883); and his most significant building, the Brant County Court House (1852). Victoria Park Square is a gathering place for local citizens.
Creek, surrounds three small islands, and is crossed by multiple bridges. The park also contains the Victoria Park pavilion, the Victoria Park Gallery and Archives, a bandstand, and a historic boathouse, a pub and music venue. A pavilion was first introduced to the park in 1902 as a response to complaints that there was no where to seek shelter when it started to rain.[4] Designed by Charles Knechtel, the structure was set on fire in 1916 and deemed too damaged to recover.
