Queen's Park and the Legislative Building

The Queen's Park is located on the grounds of the Ontario Legislative Building and it's often used as a metonym for the Government of Ontario. Edward VII, then Prince of Wales opened it in 1860, and it was named in honor of Queen Victoria. Though the property is, in principle, owned by the University of Toronto, it has been leased to the Government of Ontario for 999 years.
