Hatley Park / Former Royal Roads Military College

This superb example of an Edwardian park was laid out for James and Laura Dunsmuir in the early 20th century. At its centre stands a Tudor Revival mansion, whose picturesque design is enhanced by a rich array of decoration and fine craftsmanship. The grounds, featuring a variety of native and exotic vegetation, unfold from formal gardens to recreational spaces, farmlands and forests. Acquired by the Canadian armed forces in 1940, Hatley Park evolved to meet the needs of Royal Roads Military College in a manner that has preserved its essential Edwardian character.

Hatley Park / ancien collège militaire Royal Roads

Conçu pour James et Laura Dunsmuir au début du XXe siècle, ce superbe parc est d’esprit édouardien. Un manoir néo-Tudor, rehaussé d’ornements richement exécutés, s’y dresse au centre. Des jardins classiques, des aires récréatives, des terres agricoles et des forêts l’entourent dans une profusion de plantes indigènes et exotiques. Acquis par les forces armées canadiennes en 1940, Hatley Park s’est transformé selon les besoins du Royal Roads Military College tout en conservant son caractère d’origine.
