It was officially opened on September 25, 1962, as a western gateway to the Parliament Buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Name and Look for Downtown Ottawa Park )〕 The park was renamed from "Garden of the Provinces" on October 6, 2005 to recognize and include Canada's three territories.〔 Scott Brison, then the Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada, officially renamed the park.
==Description==
One quarter of the site is composed of formal terraces, with the flags of the provinces and territories in the order of their entry to Confederation. Bronze plaques include the floral emblems for each of the provinces and territories. A tall fountain symbolizes a tree. A structure of concave concrete slabs portrays the Great Lakes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Street SmART - A Guide to Art on the Streets of Canada's Capital Region )
The Garden of the Provinces and Territories is a popular site when filled with tulips, and other flowers, during the annual Tulip Festival. This garden links to the main pedestrian/bicycle paths, including a pedestrian tunnel under Wellington Street. It is located on a common route between the Portage Bridge to government headquarters in Gatineau, and Parliament Hill and government central agencies headquartered downtown.
The site was once part of the Nicholas Sparks (1794-1862) estate, a combination of swamp and wild forest bought by the major Bytown landlord and philanthropist in 1826.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sparks, Nicholas )
