The Niagara Parks Commission has issued a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) to the Planning, Architectural and Landscape Architectural Consultant community, seeking assistance and support for the development of a renewed Concept Master Plan for Queen Victoria Park.
The purpose of the Concept Master Plan is to establish a set of structured guidelines for the ongoing development, programming and management of Niagara Parks lands within Queen Victoria Park, from Oakes Garden Theatre and its Rainbow Gardens to Kingsbridge Park.
The goal of the Concept Master Plan is to carefully consider the many facets that ensure visitors will continue to enjoy one of the most spectacular Parks in the world, while preserving the Parks for future generations. The Plan will focus on how visitors connect emotionally and physically with the lands and spaces within Queen Victoria Park, examine connectivity and movement from within the study area and access from areas outside of it. The Plan will identify existing nodes like Oakes Garden Theatre, Grandview Market Place, Queen Victoria Place, Oak Hall and its golf course, Table Rock Visitor Centre and Kingsbridge Park, as well as potential nodes such as the historic former Power Plants, and the Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse. Natural heritage features within the Master Plan also include the Moraine, Dufferin Islands and the Niagara Gorge, which are important habitat for rare and/or endangered species.
The development of the Concept Master Plan will be based upon Niagara Parks’ vision and mandate and new Strategic Plan and will be a blueprint to lead the organization forward, by:
• Leveraging and activating Niagara Parks’ natural wonders and iconic experiences;
• Preserving and showcasing Niagara Parks’ rich heritage, culture and lifestyle;
• Supporting a dynamic business environment with a focus on investment attraction, connection to local communities, job creation and economic well-being; and;
• Taking experiences and services to the next level.

As a culture, we spend 90 percent of our time indoors. Architecture sustains our way of life; it supports our very being; it defines our life experience. But it also connects us to the world outside of our windows and doors. However, certain geographical locations provide challenges when it comes to designing spaces that foster interaction between inside and out. While some architects may work around these conditions, Peter Brachvogel, AIA, and Stella Carosso—principals of the Pacific Northwest architectural and urban design firm BC&J—have been known to utilize the local habitat within their design.
