Gore Park, Urban park in downtown Hamilton, Canada

Gore Park is a triangular urban park in downtown Hamilton, bounded by James Street to the west, John Street to the east and two sections of King Street to the north and south. Its central feature is a fountain, a 1996 replica of the 1860 original, and the grounds also hold a 1908 memorial to Queen Victoria by Philipe Hebert and the 1923 Cenotaph by William Russell Souter.

The land began as a Crown grant in the early 1800s and changed hands several times before becoming public space with an ornamental fountain around 1860. Its name comes from the irregular shape that did not fit into regular square survey grids.

The park holds a Queen Victoria memorial by Philipe Hebert (c. 1908) and the Gore Park Veterans Memorial by William Russell Souter (c. 1923), honouring Hamilton residents who served in the First World War. A statue of Sir John A. Macdonald by George Edward Wade (c. 1893) stood here until protesters toppled it in summer 2021 and it has not been restored on site.

Gore Park occupies the wedge between James Street to the west, John Street to the east and two separate sections of King Street to the north and south, so it can be entered from any of these surrounding downtown streets. The central fountain and the memorials stand within the paved and planted area, reachable on foot from the adjacent sidewalks.

The name comes from a surveying detail that surveyors had to work around when mapping out the city. Thin strips of land that did not fit into regular grid patterns were called gores, a fact reflected in the park's irregular boundaries.
