M15 - Downtown Murals

Mural 15: Recreation by the Lake (1997)

by Tony Johnson, Oshawa, Ontario

The Lake Ontario waterfront was a favourite gathering spot during the summer. Streetcars running north and south on Simcoe Street were a popular means of getting to the waterfront. Barnhardt's Pavilion was famous throughout Oshawa and beyond for its Friday night dances. The merry-go-round, called "The Ocean Wave", was a fixture at the Lake.

Located on the north wall of M. & C. Dry Goods, Celina Street.
