Bell Park (Sudbury)

Bell Park (Sudbury)

Bell Park is a large municipal park in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, located on the western shore of Lake Ramsey.

The park is the site of many cultural events in the city, including the Northern Lights Festival Boréal, the city's annual dragonboat races and a summer concert series.

The park is named for William J. Bell, an early lumber baron in the city whose former mansion is also the site of the Art Gallery of Sudbury. The park site is part of his former estate land, donated to the city by him upon his death. Two former mayors of the city are also honoured in the park grounds: the park's amphitheatre is named for Grace Hartman, and a boardwalk connecting the park to the nearby Science North site along the Lake Ramsey shoreline is named in honour of Jim Gordon.

A monument to the city's mining heritage also overlooks the park site from a hill at the northern boundary of the park.
