More Attractions at Assiniboine Park

The expanded Duck Pond opened for its first season of skating in January of 2011. Redevelopment has seen this area increase to more than double its original size with an emphasis on greatly enhanced interactivity, education and play. Children can come close to the water's edge, cross stepping stones to small islands, engage in activities such as dip-netting, and experience the area like never before. And in the winter months the Duck Pond becomes a large skating rink for everyone to enjoy.

The Lyric Theatre carries on the tradition of summer bandshell entertainment in the Park. The large outdoor stage features performances for every taste and age, including Ballet in the Park, the symphony, and the Opera and Jazz festivals. The Lyric Theatre is a fitting home for quality, family entertainment, all provided free of charge.
