Beautiful place with a great history. For a family picnic, it's an ideal place with kids also. Public washroom and restaurant available in this park with lots of parking lot.
An amazing historical location. Wonderful monument. Has an amazing story behind it. Must visit site if you get here to watch the Niagara Falls. Highly recommend.
Great place to visit any time, we visited in December and the pathways were clean and safe to walk without ice. It’s an important monument from the time of Upper Canada, before the modern country of Canada was established.
Brock's Monument is a 56-metre (185 ft) column atop Queenston Heights in Queenston, Ontario, Canada, dedicated to Major General Sir Isaac Brock, one of Canada's heroes of the War of 1812. Brock, a British Army officer in charge of defending Upper Canada from a United States invasion, and one of his aides-de-camp, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonell, are interred at the monument's base on the heights above the battlefield where both fell during the Battle of Queenston Heights. The current monument was constructed between 1853 and 1856, which replaced an earlier Monument to Brock on the battlefield (1824–1840). Parks Canada maintains the monument, the most imposing feature of Queenston Heights National Historic Site. It is the 3rd oldest war memorial in Canada.
Great place to visit during the late fall. Less crowded and amazing scenery for picture taking. Also links to the Bruce Trail.
Beautiful calm park with historic monuments, we had many pictures in the great scenery with fall leaves, walked our dog and had so much fun hiking 🥾 🍁
Washrooms available 👍🏻
