Help Design Margaret Ave Park in Waterloo
Official title: Margaret Ave Park
A new park is coming to the corner of Margaret Avenue North and Neilson Avenue in Waterloo. The City is working with SHIFT Landscape Architecture to design a space that reflects community needs and honours the neighbourhood's history. They want your input on what features and activities the park should include.
Why This Matters
Live near Margaret and Neilson? This park will be in your backyard. It's a chance to shape what goes there—playground, walking paths, gathering spaces. New parks don't come along often, so now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
The City will finalize the park design this fall based on community feedback. Construction is set to begin in Spring 2026. Initial concepts have already been developed from earlier engagement rounds.
