About This Business

Veterans' Point Gardens is a lakeside memorial park on Ajax's waterfront dedicated to the town's wartime history. Visitors can read interpretive plaques telling the story of the Battle of the River Plate, HMS Ajax, the Royal Canadian Air Force and Army, and Defence Industries Limited, the wartime plant whose workers built the community. The gardens feature a black granite obelisk monument, landscaped flower beds, a majestic 200-plus-year-old oak tree, and sweeping views of Lake Ontario. Free to visit, with walking trails, benches and nearby parking, it is a popular stop along the Ajax waterfront for reflection, picnics and shoreline walks.
