Nestled in a quiet meadow at Frontier Park, Erie’s labyrinth is a meditative spiral of stone and grass—part art installation, part spiritual journey, and wholly unexpected.

Gifted to the community in 2005 by the Carrie T. Watson Garden Club to mark its 80th anniversary, the labyrinth was designed as a space for reflection, wellness, and connection to nature. Measuring 60 feet in diameter and composed of 660 white concrete pavers, it winds through nine circuits, inviting visitors to walk slowly, breathe deeply, and let go of the noise of daily life. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has no tricks or dead ends—just a single, winding path to the center and back out again, symbolizing the twists and turns of life.

Set apart from the playgrounds and soccer fields, the labyrinth is surrounded by trees cared for by LEAF (Lake Erie Arboretum at Frontier), making it a serene escape in the heart of the city. Whether you’re seeking peace, clarity, or just a moment to pause, the labyrinth offers a gentle invitation: walk, reflect, return. It’s one of Weird Erie’s quietest wonders—where the strange magic lies not in spectacle, but in stillness.
