Since 1922, the City of Hamilton’s Gage Park has provided Hamiltonians with a rich mixture of open space, play fields, gardens and tree-lined paths that cover over 30 hectares of green space at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment.
Located east of the downtown core at Main Street East and Gage Avenue South, Gage Park serves both its surrounding downtown community as well as plays host to citywide special events that draw people from beyond Hamilton’s borders.
Gage Park has two playgrounds (one is wheelchair accessible), a bandshell, greenhouses, gardens, spray pad, wading pool, the Children's Museum where there is a creative play structure with spring toys and swings, and the beautiful Gage Park Fountain.
Here are just some of the things to do in the park.
Gage Avenue and Upper Gage Avenue are named after the park of the same name whose western border is bounded by Gage Avenue.
The park was on lands sold by Robert Russel Gage, a descendent of William Gage and named in honour of the Gage families that descended from James Gage, a lumber merchant and his uncle William Gage, a farmer.
I've worked in the area for over twenty years and love selling homes in this enclave.
The homes are on generous lots, the streets are shady with mature trees, the neighbourhood offers a lot of nearby amenities, one of which is the up and coming artsy Ottawa Street and the Center Mall.
The homes are spacious, some are manors, there is not too many multi family conversions so the area has that community feel.
Most of the homes have beautiful detailing dating to time of construction, beginning of the 20th century, charm and history.
Prices in this area are still reasonable and significantly less than the South West.
