Vision & Values
Niagara Parks Vision & Values
From the very beginning, the Niagara River experience has been recognized as a very special place of reflection, of beauty, and of natural wonder. Niagara Parks is a treasure and has a cultural heritage worthy of preserving and enhancing the natural beauty of Niagara Falls and the Niagara River corridor for all to enjoy.
Prior to the opening of the original Park, the Commissioners were guided by two general principles which were regarded by the Government of the day as indispensable conditions. The first was that there should be no permanent financial burden on the Province, but that the Parks should become self-supporting. The second was that the Park should, as far as possible, be free to the public. These indispensable conditions continue to guide our operations.
