Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion

Welcome to the Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion

The building features remarkable Japanese-inspired architecture to complement the scenic Japanese Gardens.

The building boasts a stunning second floor banquet/reception hall with breathtaking cedar beams and panoramic views of the Gorge Waterway.

The Esquimalt Gorge Pavilion is located at 1070 Tillicum Road in the Esquimalt Gorge Park where it borders the Gorge Waterway and neighbours the expanded Japanese Garden. The Pavilion is a wonderful space for weddings, vow renewals, celebrations of life, conferences, and reunions to name a few. Learn more about the park's beginnings in 1907.

Each floor contains 3000 sq ft of rentable space along with a servery that includes prep counters, residential fridge, range, dishwasher and sink.
