Fountain Amphitheatre, Whistling Gardens, 698 Concession 3 Townsend, Wilsonville, ON
Excerpt from the plaque:
The 3 staircase fountains are inspired by the 1674 Andre Le Notre design at the Palace of Versailles near Paris, France. The fountains ran until 1775 where it was dismantled and abandoned. “Lost” for over 200 years, the ‘Theatre d’eau’ was once again resurrected in 2011.
In 2012, this water feature had 54 fountains and has since increased to over 100 jets. In 2020, Whistling Gardens was the first in Canada to incorporate computerized pumps into the existing fountain system, eliminating the need for piping and other specialized equipment. This new technology allows for greater flexibility in programming and choreography.
All music compositions & fountain choreography are created by the owner of the gardens.
