Cullen Gardens Officially opened in May 1980 by founder Len Cullen and his wife, Connie, the Gardens have been a major tourist attraction in Whitby and the entire Durham Region for 25 years. Cullen Gardens & Miniature Village was a popular tourist attraction in Whitby, Ontario Canada. In May 1980, Len and Connie Cullen officially opened the park to the public as it remained as a popular Whitby tourist location for a quarter century. It combined the natural beauty of floral displays with a unique southern Ontario themed miniature village. It included many houses and trains that would travel around and between the houses. It was a good place for both children and adults. On 1 January 2006, Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village closed. The land, however, has since been purchased by the Town of Whitby, to remain in the public domainas a municipal park. At the time of its closure, the park was co-owned by Sue Cullen Green and Bryan Green. The miniature Village is no longer in existence. The model buildings were sold to the nearby City of Oshawa for a quarter of a million Canadian dollars. Oshawa later put them up for sale again rather than opening an attraction of it's own, citing budgetary austerity. The golf course formerly attatched to Cullen Gardens continues to operate and serve the public. The gardens themselves, which continue to exist in modified form as of a Whitby municipal park, are no longer maintained to the degree they were under the former owners. A master plan for the future development of the land is currently in preparation by the city of Whitby (July 2008)and public input is welcome.
