LEO MOL SCULPTURE GARDEN W Combining artistic beauty with a natural setting, the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden offers a quiet retreat to enjoy the magnificent works of master sculptor, Dr. Leo Mol. A short walk from the Pavilion, the garden was created as a result of Dr. Mol's generous gift of many of his wonderful bronze pieces and works of art to the community in which he lived. The garden is also home to the Leo Mol Gallery featuring works by the gifted artist and the Leo Mol School House Studio. The interior of the School House has been maintained intact complete with moulds and plaster casts or major works. It allows the visitor a glimpse of how a bronze sculpture is created. LYRIC THEATRE W The Lyric Theatre carries on the tradition of summer band shell entertainment in Assiniboine Park. The large outdoor stage features performances for every taste and age, including jazz, the symphony, Ballet in the Park, and the highly popular Movies in the Park. The Lyric Theatre is a fitting home for quality, family entertainment, all provided free of charge. NATURE PLAYGROUND W From your first steps down the tree-lined path toward the Nature Playground, you will be transported into a world of wonder that encourages children of all ages to run, jump, climb, explore, and play. Exercise your body and your imagination while you explore the sand and water play area, slithering slides, a sky-high crow's nest, willow tree tunnels, basket swings, a giant robin's nest, net bridges, and topiaries. These unique features are inspired by and incorporated into the area's natural surroundings, which include two acres of trees, gardens, gently rolling hills, and colourful rubber mountains. Hours are 8 a.m. to dusk, daily. PAVILION GALLERY MUSEUM W As the centerpiece of Assiniboine Park, the Pavilion Gallery Museum houses a gallery museum featuring the largest collections of works by three renowned Manitoba artists: the contemporary works of Ivan Eyre, the historical works of Clarence Tillenius, and the watercolours and woodcuts of Walter J. Philips. As well, the rotation gallery features exhibitions by Manitoba's premier and emerging artists.
