Park Place (formerly Molson Park) is a shopping centre located in the south end of Barrie, Ontario, Canada. The land operated as a brewery from 1967–1999, and as a high-capacity outdoor concert venue from 1987–2005. As a music venue, Molson Park saw acts including Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Aretha Franklin, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, NOFX, and Oasis.

From 2002–2004, the abandoned brewery operated as the largest illegal marijuana grow-operation in Canadian history.[1]

The current shopping centre includes a Best Buy, LA Fitness, Marshall's, and a Cabela’s.
