Visitors can enjoy the new classically designed shade structure in the Memory Garden. This centrepiece provides the official formal gathering space for weddings.

Groups looking to conduct a wedding or take formal photos on special occasions require a permit. Permits grant approval to conduct this activity within the park; it does not grant exclusive rights to a specific area within the park. When multiple permit holders are at the same location at the same time, they must co-exist where possible or switch locations. Public access must not be restricted. Guests are asked to wait until a wedding ceremony is finished to take photos in the Memory Garden.

There are no public washrooms available at this location.
