Bruce Park, Public park in St. James area of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Bruce Park extends over 13 acres along the Assiniboine River, featuring three footbridges crossing Truro Creek and formal flower gardens throughout the grounds.
The land was donated to the Municipality of St. James in 1933 by Peter Bruce's family, a Metis farmer who settled the area in the 1850s.
In 1936, four Boy Scout troops from St. James planted trees and a lilac bush within the park as part of an Arbour Day community project.
The park includes a playground, wading pool, winter skating rink, and designated rental spaces for ceremonies with capacities ranging from 50 to 150 people.
A cenotaph stands in the park as a memorial to St. James residents who died in World War I, World War II, Korea, and Canadian peacekeeping missions.
