Special Events

Special events are a big part of what makes us who we are!

Summer Sunday Concerts in the Park

Every other Sunday afternoon from Victoria Day weekend until Labour Day, the park fills with music from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. with our Summer Sunday Concert series.

Bring your lawn chair and join us at the Gazebo to listen to fabulous local bands playing a variety of music genres.

2nd Edition Puzzle - Miniature Train Fundraiser

Our 2nd edition 308-piece, 11 X 17" puzzle of our current 1860 locomotive replica has helped to raise $7,500 toward our Capital Campaign to replace the train ride. 

If you're interested in purchasing a puzzle, stop by our Gift Shop between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. found just inside the main entrance gates.  Or you can also visit the Art Gallery of Peterborough or House of Scales who are continuing to help sell them while their quantities last.

Thanks to the organizations already on board our Train Campaign: 
Active Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, Brant Basics, Ross and Ann Dobbin, Ennismore Pharmacy, Fork in the Road Country Market, Griffins Greenhouse, House of Scales, Kawartha Rotary, Kiwanis Club of Peterborough, Knights of Columbus, Patrick McAuley Group of Realtors, Peterborough Accident Report Services Ltd., Peterborough Kinsmen, and all the train seat sponsors and train campaign donors.

Together we've already reached $250,000 toward the new train ride. 

Help us reach our goal!
