The Park at the Heart
Victoria Park opened in 1896 and remains Kitchener's most treasured green space. The 45-acre park features a picturesque lake, heritage pavilion, Roos Island bandstand, and The Boathouse restaurant. Walking trails wind through old-growth trees, and winter brings outdoor skating on the frozen lake.
