Lock One Park |
The locks of the first Welland Canal were constructed out of wood in comparison to the locks of the second and third canals which were made of cut-stone. Located in this small landscaped alcove, nestled at the site of the first lock of the second Welland Canal, you can actually see the cut-stone construction and lock gate hinges built around 1842. It was closed after the third Welland Canal was built upstream at Port Weller.
The Welland Canal Preservation Association helped develop the heritage significance of this park.
