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 wants your ideas on what features and activities should be included. They're working with landscape architects to create a space that reflects the neighbourhood's needs and history.
Why This Matters
Live near Margaret and Neilson? This park will be in your backyard. You can shape what goes in it—playground, walking paths, gathering spaces. It's a rare chance to influence a brand-new community space from scratch.
What Could Change
The city will finalize the park design this fall based on community feedback. Construction is set to begin in spring 2026. Your input now determines what features get built—playgrounds, seating areas, pathways, or other amenities.
Key Issues
- What activities and features should the new park include?
- How can the park honour the neighbourhood's history?
- How should the park fit into the existing neighbourhood?
