Kitchener Ontario Parks

In the last post I gave you a brief overview of the city of Kitchener Ontario, a beautiful city in south western Ontario that is part of the tri-city called Cambridge-Kitchener-Waterloo. Kitchener Ontario is a great place to raise a family because due to safe communities, culture and attractions. It is the home to the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany.

Kitchener Ontario has three major parks, Victoria Park, Kiwanis Park & McLennan Park, which when combined with other smaller parklands make a total over 2,000 acres. New and growing families use these park spaces daily, and they are a great source of pride for the growing Kitchener community.

Victoria Park Kitchener

Just steps away from City Hall, this picturesque park is the jewel of Kitchener, offering 59 acres of tranquility. You can sit back and enjoy a quiet read on a nearby bench, have a family in picnic one of the open spaces or take a self-guided tour. There are also Soccer Fields, horseshoe pits and creative play area and playground and generally an excellent place for all types of outdoor sports.

For those who seeking to cool off during the hot summer months, why not head down to Kiwanis Park for a dip in the man-made lake, it is a perfect place to let the children run and play. It is a favorite place for Kitchener residents and visitors alike, and a great place for a fun afternoon in the sun.

McLennan Park is a currently undeveloped 97 acre parcel of land that served as the Region of Waterloo landfill. Many studies have been put in action to gauge the best use for this important parcel of land. Currently, construction is under way to commence a multi-use recreational facility which includes a Bike Park which includes a free-ride course and a dirt jump park. There is also a Free Leash, fully fenced 2 acre area for dogs. It is one of the most exciting parks in the area and one of Kitchener's best kept secrets.
