Pagoda Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Pagoda Bridge is a charming covered bridge over Jackson Creek, situated at the south end of Dixon Mill Pond in Jackson Park in the heart of Peterborough. Built between 1894 and 1895, it's a lovely example of Victorian architecture, with a distinctive bell cast roof that inspired its name. Designated as a heritage property by the City of Peterborough, the bridge is an important part of Jackson Park and its connection to the citizens who contributed to its restoration.
