Thunder Bay’s Tourist “Pagoda” can rightfully claim its place in history as Canada’s oldest continuously operating tourist bureau. This Chinese-like structure dates back to 1909. Amongst its modern neighbours and overlooking Thunder Bay’s marina, the Pagoda has continued to greet visitors for more than a century. Additional information on the Pagoda can be found in the lessons section on the manual.

The Park is home to a nine-foot bronze statue, set on a 45-ton granite base with a foundation of local amethyst, with breathtaking view of Lake Superior, and a visitor information centre. The statue was originally erected across the highway in memory of Terry Fox, the courageous one-legged runner who embarked on a cross-country run for cancer research- the Marathon of Hope, but was moved to its current location on October 1993.
