The Bicentennial Peace Gardens overlook Lake Ontario from beside the Forty Mile Creek Park, and are dedicated to the current good relationship between America and Canada as well as the memory of the battle that happened on park lands in 1812. The Peace Gardens are situated next to the Elizabeth Street Pumphouse and feature a small, round garden, including plaques describing the historical events of the war, a grassy hill with views over the lake, and a concrete pier. On a clear day, Toronto and other cities across the lake can be seen on the horizon over the water. There are brick walking paths across the garden and to benches that look out over the lake, and the flagpole that displays the Canadian, American, and British flags.

The gardens are next to the Elizabeth Street Pumphouse, which is often open to the public during the summer and can be rented for private events, but no publicly built facilities are available. The short pier is usually open to walk down, and there are benches along the waterfront.

Forty Mile Creek Park is the site of the last major skirmish against the Americans in 1812, the Engagement of the Forty, before they were successfully pushed back to Fort George. The British forces had the assistance of a group of First Nations People led by John Norton, and the local militia, which enabled them to swiftly turn the tide against the American forces and cause a full-scale retreat in short order.

While the pier is a common resting place of seagulls, the edge of the lake is almost always filled with ducks and Canadian geese who make this spot their home.

The area is owned and managed by the Town of Grimsby.

The gardens are quite flat, with brick pathways, but there's a tiny hill to get onto the property that is present in a sloped path section, or optional 2-3 stair path.
