The Orchard Pavilion is a 102 square metre (1,100 square feet) programmable space in the Park’s southwest area, north of Downsview Park Boulevard. It has public washrooms, a small pavilion and a large canopy that can accommodate 25 people indoors and 200 people outdoors.
Why is it called the Orchard Pavilion? Surrounding the pavilion, we have more than one hectare (2.5 acres) of a beautiful orchard. There are approximately 400 trees with a variety of apples and a mix of tree ages.
Did you know that there are more than a dozen types of fruits grown in the Orchard? Not only apples! The next time you take a stroll to the Orchard, see how many you can spot. The fruit in the Orchard is reserved for community and educational programming only. Please do not pick the fruits.
Booking is easy – fill out our form and we’ll go from there.
