Cozy Cabin: Welcoming Winter in Waterloo Park

Join the City of Waterloo Museum for a cozy three-night program inside the historic Log Cabin as we celebrate how our community enjoys Waterloo Park all winter long!

On the first two evenings, the City of Waterloo Parks staff will be on site to gather stories and ideas about how you use the park — from tobogganing and skating to snowy strolls and more. Kids can get creative by designing their own winter wonderland, and everyone is invited to help shape the future of Waterloo Park.

On the final night, the Waterloo Public Library will bring the magic of winter to life with story time sessions sure to spark imagination and seasonal joy.

Bundle up and join us to celebrate how Waterloo Park shines in every season!
