Dundurn Park is a historical park and the former home of Sir Allan MacNab. The property consists of Dundurn Castle, a historic neoclassical mansion, the Hamilton Military Museum, the Coach House Restaurant, and the Cockpit Theatre. The park overlooks Hamilton Harbour and is adjacent to Harvey Park and Dundurn Parkette. It is a popular destination for weddings and tourism.
