Spencer Smith Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spencer Smith Park is a park in downtown Burlington, Ontario right on the shore of Lake Ontario. It is home to the Sound of Music Festival as well as Canada's Largest Ribfest. It has a small beach and plenty of walking paths along Lake Ontario.
The City of Burlington Waterfront Project opened in early June of 2006. It is home to Spencer's, a two hundred plus seat restaurant with a large patio overlooking the water. There is a Bite Cafe downstairs on the same level as the Rotary Centennial Pond. The exterior walls of the building are entirely made of glass offering beautiful views of Lake Ontario and Lakeshore Road. The Centennial Pond features ice skating in the winter months, and is used as a model sailboat pond in the summer. The Dofasco Waterjet plaza also opened in late July of 2006 and offers a water play area for children with jets spraying water in the air, as well as a refreshed playground.
Along the walking path, across from the water, there is a World War II Navy Memorial in recognition of the Canadian seamen that served in the war.
