Please visit the website for more information on exhibits and upcoming events at www.wellandmuseum.ca Central Fire Hall (Cor. Hellems & Division Sts.) The Central Fire Hall, completed in 1920, is a unique example of early twentieth century Edwardian Classical style designed by Walter W. LaChance, while still incorporating the prominent features of the “old time” red brick fire stations of the late 1800’s. The most unusual elements of its design are its basilica plan, a rectangle with hexagonal ‘apse’ at either end and its siting at a 45 degree angle across the property. The building features a high brick drying tower fitted with a four faceted clock and a Greek acroterion, resembling old fashioned fire helmets, above each of the four dormers.

Welland Outdoors Recreational Waterway Hiking and Cycling on Merritt Island Outdoor enthusiasts marvel at the beauty and serenity of Merritt Island. The island is a natural paradise and part of the Greater Niagara Circle Route, which offers a paved trail suitable for walking, bicycling, or in-line skating. Natural trails also run along the Welland River for those up to a challenging run or walk. Merritt Island is a place where you can connect with the outdoors, experience local art, or enjoy a packed lunch. Wood Carvings by J.P. Gauthier When visiting Merritt Island, keep your eyes open for local artist J.P. Gauthier’s wood carvings. These exquisite pieces of work blend into the natural environment and compliment the landscape. Gauthier’s art is compelling and establishes a mystical flow of nature across the island. Have fun discovering these beautiful works of art. The first settlement in the area dates back to 1788. In 1829, it was known as Aqueduct - literally because a wooden aqueduct was built to carry the Welland Canal over the Welland River. In 2008, the City celebrated its 150th Anniversary as an incorporated municipality. The Rod Dowling Sculpture Park is located along the canal near the Welland Community Wellness Complex. It currently features three sculptures by the famous artist Rod Dowling. These sculptures are named “Listeners”, “The Aqueduct”, and “The Knot” which all represent Welland’s shipping and industrial past. We hope to have more sculptures in years to come. Golf Welland is home to some of the most picturesque golf courses in Southern Ontario, including the Scottish Link-Style Hunter’s Pointe (905-714-4659).

You can find all these experiences at Welland’s Chippawa Park, Merritt Park on King Street, or Merritt Island in historical downtown Welland. Outdoor Ice Rinks Welland has many outdoor ice rinks for skaters to enjoy and keep active. Chippawa Park’s outdoor ice rink is one of Welland’s largest and busiest attractions.

The Welland Recreational Canal Scuba Park remains a popular spot and attracts hundreds of divers annually. Welland WellandOutdoors Outdoors 2016 Welland Crowland War Memorial Located in beautiful Chippawa Park, The Cenotaph is unique because it departs from the usual design of a single soldier so common on other monuments from that vintage. Detailed and beautiful, the monument incorporates stylized elements of the Canadian landscape - red pine and wheat sheaves - along with the representation of a WWI trench mortar and two heroic figures. A soldier and a woman are featured to symbolize the “Service and Sacrifice” element of war. Dedicated not only to those who fought, but to those who supported the war effort at home. Cook’s Mills Peace Garden The Battle of Cook’s Mill was the last battle fought in Niagara during the War of 1812. The battle took place in 1814, and is the inspiration behind the newly constructed Peace Garden. Cherished by residents, visitors, and history enthusiasts; the garden is a reminder of 200 years of Peace. The Peace Garden is located at the corner of Lyon’s Creek and Doan’s Ridge Roads.
