The O.A.C. ’56 Park in the Garden is a large, open lawn featuring over 20 specimens of trees. The members and friends of the Ontario Agricultural College’s Class of 1956 graciously funded this collection, granting it the name O.A.C. ’56 Park in the Garden. Thanks to their generosity, this shaded lawn is now a delight for all recreational users of The Arboretum.
