Description
Follow the Niagara Parkway Recreational Trail to see the spring flowers and blossoms along the way and at the Botanical Gardens. Hikers will also experience “Niagara Strait”, a large-scale sculpture comprised of stainless steel walls, which mimic the sheer walls of the Niagara Gorge, creating a dramatic sense of entry to Niagara Parks’ Botanical Gardens. Inspired by the seldom seen depths of the Great Gorge, the open interior of the installation invites visitors to explore the smooth, yet rugged walls and view this artistic piece from every angle, before beginning their adventure and enjoyment of the grounds of the Botanical Gardens.
