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
