Assiniboine Park & Leo Mol Sculpture Garden
Assiniboine Park
A roughly 450-hectare urban park west of downtown, where the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden displays more than 300 bronze sculptures by the Ukrainian-born artist, alongside English gardens and a conservatory.
Assiniboine Park opened in 1909 and is Winnipeg's largest city park. It features English and Dutch gardens, pavilions, an open-air theatre and the Leaf, an indoor horticultural conservatory that opened in 2022, with a tropical rainforest, a Mediterranean garden and a butterfly conservatory. The Leo Mol Sculpture Garden is free to enter and displays bronze figures and animal sculptures by this Ukrainian-born Canadian sculptor; his studio is also on the grounds. In winter you can skate and go tobogganing in the park. The park itself is free, the Leaf requires a separate ticket, and the park is next to the zoo.
Opening hours
All day; sculpture garden approx. 9:00–20:00 (summer)
