A tribute to Canadian expertise
The historic Niagara Parks Power Station is the most recent addition to the list of notable landmarks that can be seen on the edge of Niagara Falls. The old "Canadian Niagara Power Company generating station" was the first large power station on the Canadian side of the Niagara River. It could harness the immense energy of the Horseshoe Falls and transformed it into a huge source of electricity for more than a century.
Many years after its turbines came to a stop, the marvel of this hydropower pioneer is being brought back to life in an experience that is both entertaining and educational. This experience highlights both the remarkable history and the distinctive architectural features of this engineering and architectural marvel.
