This pet-friendly area features two tree sculptures. One is a tribute to the Black Labrador and Sheltie owned by the residents of 65 Zina Street. Not to be outdone by their canine friends, three cats are perched across the street in a sculpture by the same artist.
The Musicians is one of the largest tree sculptures in Orangeville's collection. It was unveiled in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival in 2012. Its prominent location shares space with the festival’s main stage each June.
Woodland Creatures was designed by the Thompsons, a family that has lived in the area for seven generations. The sculpture is dedicated to Eileen and Norman Thompson and was created to demonstrate their love for nature and animals.
Bravery Park features several installations, each offering a unique way to honour our country’s soldiers and veterans. The park’s centrepiece is a bronze statue of a Canadian soldier kneeling before two Afghan children who are presenting him with a butterfly. The statue is mounted in the centre of a depiction of the Victoria Cross.
