Waterloo Park food and picnics

Grab a bite at the Park Inn concession in summer, bring your own food for a picnic, or book a picnic space for a larger group.


Park Inn concession

The Park Inn concession is open daily from June to Labour Day, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

  • drinks, snacks and ice cream
  • burgers, fries and sandwiches
  • pay with cash, debit and credit

Get directions to the Park Inn.


Bring your own picnic

You’re welcome to bring your own food and enjoy a picnic.

  • picnic areas and gazebos may be booked — please respect reservations
  • charcoal BBQs are not allowed under the city’s open air fire bylaw
  • propane BBQs are only allowed in a reserved picnic area

Throw out all garbage and recycling properly and do not feed wildlife — it can harm animals and the park’s ecosystem.


Lost and found

We don’t have a lost and found for fields, courts or parks:

  • we take found wallets, phones or keys to the Waterloo Service Centre
  • we leave clothing, sports gear and other items where they were found
