Mississauga Celebration Square
Open-air event venue in Mississauga, Canada
Celebration Square is a 290,000 square foot outdoor civic centre, park and amphitheatre located on City Centre Drive in Mississauga, Ontario.[1] The project was first announced to begin construction in 2007 and completed in 2011.[2] The two firms, CS&P architects and Janet Rosenberg + Associates were responsible for the design and construction of the park.[3][4] The park was commissioned as a demolition and renovation of the two previous ‘library’ and ‘city hall’ squares in the downtown area of Mississauga.[4] The design features an expansive turf grass field with adjacent amphitheatre, a surrounding stone path, benches, canopies and secondary stage. The square's large water feature becomes ice rink in the winter and doubles as an event space when needed.[4] The project is said to juxtoposition small intimate spaces with large open areas of turf.[4] The transformation has dramatically increased the use of the property for daily civic life.[5]
