Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Officially opened in May of 1980 by founder Len Cullen and his wife, Connie, the Gardens have been a major tourist attraction in Whitby and the entire Durham Region for 25 years.
Cullen Gardens & Miniature Village was a popular tourist attraction in Whitby, Ontario, Canada. In May of 1980, Len and Connie Cullen officially opened the park to the public as it remained as a popular Whitby tourist location for a quarter century. [1] It combined the natural beauty of floral displays with a unique southern Ontario themed miniature village. It included many houses and trains that would travel around and between the houses. It was a good place for both children and adults.
On 1 January 2006, Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village closed.[2] It has, however, since been purchased by the Town of Whitby, to remain in the public domain as a municipal park. There has been speculation that the property may link up with the Heber Downs conservation area. At the time of its closure, the park was co-owned by Sue-Cullen Green and Bryan Green.[3]
The Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village driving range continues to operate and serve the public.
