Nestled high atop the Niagara Escarpment, this is the birthplace of Canada, the home of Brock's Monument and the Laura Secord Monument. Hikers and picnickers have used this park for generations.
Facilities include two picnic pavilions, washrooms, children's splash pad, tennis courts, a bandshell, snack bar and children's playground and fine dining at Queenston Heights Restaurant with its award-winning wine cellar.
A carpet bedding display at the entrance to the Park welcomes visitors and formalized annual bedding schemes surround both the Brock and Laura Secord Monuments.
Queenston Heights Park is also a terminus point of the Bruce Trail, which winds it way northward over several hundred kilometers to Tobermory. This trail passes through the Niagara Escarpment, which has been recognized as a world biosphere by U.N.E.S.C.O. Finally, Parks Canada oversees the operation of Brock's Monument and also has a walking tour of the historic sites associated with this important battleground.
Note: Brock's Monument is closed to the public in 2007 to conduct much needed repairs to the structure.
