The Oakes Garden Theatre

Posted on by
The Oakes Garden Theatre is the gateway park leading to the Queen Victoria Park. Built on the site of a demolished hotel (1937), the debris and remains from the hotel can still be found scattered throughout the park. Filled with beautiful foliage, limestone hardscaping, iron gates, and rock gardens, the Oakes Garden Theatre is designed as an amphitheater where concerts, weddings, or other events are planned! And did I mention, its FREE!
