The amphitheatre layout offers organizers many ways to plan inclusive and adaptable events. From equipment load-in to the final curtain call, the space is built to support a wide variety of productions.

- Tiered Grass Seating: The gently sloped lawn allows for different seating layouts, gives clear views of the stage, and helps accommodate more guests.
- The Main Stage: The stage is covered by a canopy and windscreen, making it suitable for performances ranging from symphony orchestras to rock bands, even in changing weather.
- Year-Round Facilities: The green room and washrooms are winterized, allowing events to take place all year. As this is an outdoor venue, guests are encouraged to dress for the weather while enjoying an authentic outdoor experience.
A Venue for All
The Heritage Amphitheatre is designed to be welcoming and comfortable for guests, performers and event staff.
- Accessible Seating and Facilities: The venue offers dedicated seating areas for guests with mobility needs. Washroom buildings include universal stalls and are available for events year-round.
- Hearing Loop Technology: A built-in hearing loop sends clear sound directly to hearing aids located within the zone. This helps guests with hearing impairments enjoy high-quality audio from anywhere in the venue.
- Connected Ramps and Pathways: A wide network of ramps and paved pathways links all main areas of the site. These paths make it easy to move between the entrance, seating areas, and the stage for guests, volunteers, and performers.
