El Nasrani (Lawrence of Arabia)

I've been coming here for over 30 years. A treasure of memories since my parents brought me here as a kid. Timeless.

The Gooderham Fountain graced this site from 1911, and was a well-known landmark and meeting place on the grounds. It was named after George H. Gooderham, President of the CNE Association from 1909 to 1911. H.R.H. The Princess Margaret officially opened the current fountain in 1958, which remains a focal point of the western end of the grounds.

This bridge and arch were the original entrance to the CNE before the princess gates opened. The arch was rebuilt 3 times.

Nice sight. I had the pleasure of viewing it from below where the trail is and above by the bridge that runs parallel to it on blood Street west.

The trail connects you to both history and nature. This city is truly within a park.
