The Niagara Parks Commission is a self-funding agency responsible for the maintenance of over 1,700 hectares of parkland, roads and recreational trails stretching some 56 kilometres along the Niagara River corridor from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Its mission remains the same as it was upon its foundation in 1885, “to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the Falls and the Niagara River corridor for the enjoyment of visitors, all while maintaining financial self-sufficiency.”
