Shipyards Park and Frank Slim Building

At Shipyards Park, a wedding comes together on the bank of the Yukon River, with a gazebo for the vows and a warm fireplace room waiting for the evening.

The park is run by the City of Whitehorse and sits along the river on Second Avenue. The City offers its bookable spaces here for weddings, celebrations and community events.

Couples can reserve the gazebo and firepit, a second firepit right on the riverfront, or the covered stage for music and speeches. The whole park can also be booked for a larger gathering.

The Frank Slim Building holds the Fireplace Room, a cozy space with a propane fireplace, tables and chairs. It can be booked for private events in the evenings.

The park stays lively all year, with a walking loop in summer that turns into a skating loop in winter.

For couples who picture a relaxed riverside ceremony followed by a fireside gathering in the heart of town, Shipyards Park offers a Whitehorse wedding that is simple, scenic and close to everything.
