The Darwin Amphitheatre, situated within the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens, was constructed in the late 1950s and served as an open-air venue for performance and gathering.
Though substantially altered since its original construction, the amphitheatre’s form reflects mid-century design approaches to outdoor civic space, blending landscape and structure to create a flexible community setting.
Its location within the Botanic Gardens underscores the integration of recreational architecture with public green spaces characteristic of the period’s urban planning.
Heritage Status: Not Listed.
