It's good children's park with great enjoyments for kids ????

Uma Datta Gupta

Good place for all ages people. My 3 years old loved the play ground and splash pad in summer. Now in winter we enjoyed Tobago there.

Sawdeep Singh

Nice park full of activities for kids, younger kids and adults too. Everyone can spend good amount of time the park. I can't say if it is unsafe to go there right now because it was bit crowded with kids.

Azim Hoque

Its a huge hill, free to use. The lookout from top is over city, wide and clear.

Abdul Khan

A quality fun-filled park with a splash pad, a mountainous view and acres of land to top of it, all on a hill! A must visit for families wanting to stretch out and enjoy the nature scape with their kids and loved ones. A very family-oriented place for everyone to visit and enjoy!

Jeff Lu

good for hiking, biking, skateboard. Nice view on the top.

FLiP's WoRLD

This place is awesome!!! A very big hill with a nice view of the city, that is loaded bike features. I come from Windsor just to ride my bike to hit the ramps here.

Oleg Stukalov

Awesome place for all ages. Large playground, giant green field, the "trash" hill (yes, it is actually trash hill, the site used be city damp). There skate park and area for bike jumping. In winter, best place in town for tobbogannjng.

Miho Hashida

I was little sad... Because, almost place can't use park this summer to until next summer. I hope will be open soon... And if you go to the park, only can enter on Ottawa Street. On Block Line Rd couldn't enter to the park.

Stand for Justice

Pretty impressive what they did with this landfill area. Lovely park.

D Luch

Park was very very busy at the Waterpark and playground areas. Lots of family seating.

James Thompson

This is a great large open park with a splash area for the kids. It's very frustrating that their washrooms are closed (June). I guess they are using covid as the excuse. There are always bushes if you need to go badly. There are very few trees and shady areas, so don't take your dog here on hot days.

Mezaco

McLennan Park is a really beautiful and wonderful place to be at with your family and/or friends or even your furry little four legged pal! McLennan features a large playground for "kids" of all sizes, a large dog park with benches and a poop bag dispenser for us, a water park, bike park, skateboard park, volleyball sand + nets, a huge toboggan hill, a large hill for people to stroll and get a good view of the city, and much much more. On some special days there are even concerts and festivals available at the park. So if you have never been here before I highly recommend that you do.

Krystin Baker

Pros: - Good fenced in lot with part bush, part open concept for your pup to run free. In wet weather, beware of along the fence where there's water (mud...) build …

Julie Kleinveld

Beautiful fun park. Toboggan hill, enclosed dog park and a playground. It is very well maintained.

Abin Johny

Loved it. Good place for skating and pictures.

Bhavna Bharati

It is a good place for summer and winter. I enjoy both the time. In summer you can enjoy the lovely weather by taking a walk. In winter you can do sliding. It's a great experience.

Sergey Chernykh

The best place for bikers to downhill in Kitchener. Wonderful view from the hill, but playground was overcrowded.

Mayank Mandhare

Entrance from Block line Road, Google maps direction doesn't end on correct location, you have to take either left or right depending on where you are coming from. Lots of options for kids to play, big kids play area, basketball court, tuborging hill, skate park, bike park, dog park, trail, play ground. Kids will enjoy the parks. - Restrooms closed for the season

Manav Sharma

One of the best parks in tri-city. Perfect for all seasons. Beautiful and huge. In summers, you can enjoy the exciting bike tracks, playgrounds and ball courts along with a short hike! In winters, you can enjoy snow sledging without any restrictions or fee.

Delon “delonskey” Shamon

Great outdoor park, Lots of free parking kids love being here many fields, volleyball field, skateboarding basketball field, Give it a try take your kids there they will love it.

Jeffrey Gamble

It’s a great place to go let the dog run. Fenced in, lots of other dogs. It can be very busy at times but other times not so busy!

Im The Devil

This is a great place to go tobogganing for any age. There are a lot of different hills and some cool slopes and turns for people who are into dirt biking and more extreme stuff. There's also a basketball court, dog park, and a lot of space for getting outdoor exercise.

Andrea Alvarado Moreira

Basketball court, dog off-leash park, kids play, picnic areas, sliding places, it's really enjoyable!

Michelle Victorino

It is one of the better park in the city of Kitchener. It is nice and bright. I believe once they are done with the construction updates it will be much better.

Ronal Peña

It was my son's first time in a park, it was a lot of fun, everything is nice and very hygienic

K Perez

Free wifi is a plus.. great location for hill walks, bike park, dog park, kiddies splash pad and a great playground for kids. Open fields for sports, few basketball courts and Yoga classes I saw there... lots of family fun recreation, highly family recommended ????

inderpreet singh

Beautiful park. Its very big. Big soccer ???? playground and skateboard ???? park. It even good for some mountain bike ????‍♀️ riding. Entire city looks beautiful from the hill. I always love going there in summer.

yatin faladu

Very nice and clean, awesome view from the top.

Horieb Tsegai

Really nice place for biking and walking.

Michael Krkt

It is really nice place to spend time with family and friends, great social environment with different sports and activity options….

Amber Clarke

This place is GORGEOUS, you'd never think it used to be a landfill ! Very good place to walk some local trails, they also have a splash pad, skate park, bike park, playground, dog park and a public washroom that is closed right …

M. Fatih Yegul

Very family oriented, relaxing place to visit.

prasanna karthik

Best place for running 5K runs

Sunil Kanwar

Great tobogganing hill. Kids loved it. Be careful about parking. Got a $25 ticket for "parking on private property". There was no prohibition or sign telling otherwise. City representative can't explain why I got it as there wasn't any parking violation as commonly understood. Offered to reduce it to $15. Looks like a cash grab of a small amount expecting not worth challenging. Unfair for a diligent driver who took care to check for any no parking signs before parking.

Duncan

Great space to enjoy the sun and social activities

Maria Diaz

Always fun to come here. Mount trashmore is where we come for tobogganing after a nice snow fall. The parking was closed on the entrance side. Some people were parked inside.. maybe that is a parking violation possibility... we parked by the bmo.

Red T-rex

Really cool park! The playground has a ton of cool features for any child. Would definitely go back.

Alexis Gignac

Sometimes a little over packed with children, but my children love it here. Sometimes older children are there and can be rude and what not then again they are just kids as well.

Mike Turcotte-McCusker

Great park for kids and the dog park is nice too... but WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE there for a "stay at home order"... stay home!

Blaise Corbett

Very nice well kept park. Super sunsets! Very popular.

Vivek Rana

Good place to spend your time☺️

ASHBEY RAJEEV

Nice place to spend with family. Good for a walk. Great landscapes.

Melanie Crystal

Great place to walk. Nice groomed trails. Some challenging Hills but worth it for the spectacular view at the top!

jiss johnson

A beautiful place to go around and visit and also to have fun with loved one's

NIRAV PATEL

Love this place..... Peace of mind.

Kim Spencer

My kids always have fun here. We enjoy the scenery from the top of the big hill!

Stefan Kobetich

Fun ramps for bikes!! Also good scooter/skateboard ramps with good walking trails! Also it has a splash pad for kids and a dog park.

Kristin McMillan

Busy all the time but has a nice field and playground

Ebojie Obehi

It's a very beautiful park. I can't believe I've been in Kitchener for this long and just discovered this place. It's great for any type of occasion.

Akshita akshita

A very good spot for picnic and a great view of sunset at the top.

Emily

Discovered the bike park - can easily maintain distance and appropriate for kids and adults of all levels. Not all green (beginner) runs are great for young kids, but there are a couple of doable runs for them to practise on and keep them busy, and still have fun. Anticipate falls and a possibly a few tears. Little to no shade so it's great for a mild spring or fall day.

Eric Westwood

I DONT KNOW WHAT McLennan Park is!!! This is MOUNT TRASHMORE!!! #90skid

Lauren Anderson

Fantastic park with lots to do! The playground was incredible for curious minds and the splash pad is large enough for the kids to have fun while still being safely supervised. The best part is how clean everything was, especially the sand area.

Holly D

What a beautiful park! It's huge. They have a huge dog park. The bike park is insane. They have ramps from beginners to experienced. The playground is so fun. There's so much to do. Definitely head out early. Pack a lunch and enjoy the day there.

Isaac H-H

Such a fantastic view of the city. Plenty of walking space with facilities as well. Worth a visit on its own, or as part of a longer walk to Huron Natural Area!

Negeena Shefa

Wonderful place for all ages.

Kevin Trujillo

Amazing view from the top... on a nice cloudy day. Only thing better would be areas that provide shade

Trevor Heywood

This is a great spot with lots of space and a variety of activities. It's playground and splash pad, a giant hill with a view over the city, a dog park, and trails to the east and west.

Mohammad Almasalmah

Good park, most of the time busy for winter games and at summertime, the park has a dog park too, but doesn't have enough parking for the cars at the busy time

K L

An amazing family spot tucked away off of Ottawa st. Huge public space. Skate park, bicycle downhill trails, splash pad and play area for the little ones. Basketball courts, volley sand courts. Clean and beautiful. It's great user abide the rules about garbage, don't use the trails when raining. Great space check in out from April -Nov.

Dan Miller

Mt Trashmore!!! What else needs to be said about this awesome park. Year round fun to be found at the playground, walking/hiking around, or climbing to the top of the hill for a fun look over kitchener. With all the ski hills closed down my kids and I have been tobogganing and snowboarding at McLennan.

Eric Jarvis

There is so much to do here. The skate park and biking trails are nice. There is a huge playground and splash pad if you have kids and a dog park. The view from the top of the hill is nice too.

Kalind Panchal

Beautiful park with bmx cycle track, skaters have their special tracks with variety of shapes to do stunts. Also have rides for kids to enjoy, a benches to sit and have a coffee or whatever with want. Main thing you can see half of the Kitchener from the top

Adrian mcnamara

Amazing view! Great for walks and nice play area.

Jamal Alam

Very nice and spacious. Lots of playground space and open fields.

sarah radi

My son LOVES going to McLennan Park. He is 22 months and super active but after a trip to the park he is completely dead and ready for a nap (I love it). The sand box is his favourite thing, I also love that there is a splash pad there too. There is literally something there for every age group!! My favourite park in KW

Techie KK

Was a good park. Though google map will not take you to actual entrance. You have to take right and go 1km then turn right

Shane Everest

Awesome, awesome, awesome park for the whole family. Lots for the kids to do. Playground is cool. Splash pad is spacious. Lots of walking and biking trails and paths available. A nice dog park that's usually very social. Skate park for the xtremes. Sliding hills. Basketball courts. Awesome views. Excellent greenspace for native pollination. All built on an existing landfill and offers the community a very useful, model of re-purposed space. Kitchener should be proud! Favourite park to visit so I am glad to live nearby.

Brandon J Leonard

Such a great park! Splash pad, skatepark, downhill mountain biking, dog park, walking trails. So much variety!

Mel Mell

Article in KW record says a lawyer hurt himself last year so now the hill is being cut in 1/2 to prevent injuries and suing potential. Very sad stupid ppl are as usual able to ruin the fun had by all. We have always used the hill for tubing. ????????

mina wagdy

Amazing walk with a nice view point of the whole city. Also a good place to take your kids and/or your pets. Has a dog park and bike parks with a great bike course.

Saleem Bhimji

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing place to enjoy the long summer days. Witnessing the sunset from the top of the hill is a great way to end a hard day!

Flavia Thomas

Heard about this park as a recent newcomer to Kitchener. I was at this park for 2 hours. Had a lovely leisurely walk. It's absolutely amazing, a large splash pad for the kids, playground and the park is huge with many trails. There is a bike path but it was closed but as pedestrians you can still walk up the very steep hill. You get a work out trust me on that. It's a beautiful day. The only downside was the washrooms were closed so you have to use those ghastly potables. The main entrance is closed from Ottawa Street so you have to enter from Blackhorne Drive. All in all an enjoyable experience. Will visit again albeit all the construction been done on Ottawa Street.

Dmitry Vakulenko

Great park to rest, hang out and practice your bike terrain skills on the terrain park.

Illona Szemik

Could be improved. Nice park but is nothing happening there

Dawn Rabishaw

Came to use the dog park. We all enjoyed our time! Spent 2 hours!!! Met a lot of nice people and cute dogs!!! I do however wish the speed bumps on the way in had some paint or a sign. But all and all we will be back!

Bathel Moges

I LOVE IT HERE BEST PLACE EVER. I have been coming here all the time seems last May, the view is bomb love going here to watch the sunsets. there is NOT a lot of people there best thing about it it’s super quiet up the mountains. I do recommend getting stairs it is really hard to walk up the mountains if it’s your first time if you fall you will be done for it really recommend tho!

james

Great park . Splashpad is great too. Not much shade tho

Gavin Breen

Great park all around. Skatepark is lacking now that the bowl is gone

Pradeep Pal

I love going to this park with kids, it offers everything whether it be a water play area, play/slides, biking, walk/hike. I loved sledding here, it was my first time last season and definitely i will be going back. ????

Maysum Panju

The top of the hill in this park is possibly one of the best places to view a sunset in Kitchener-Waterloo.

Benedict R. Peregil Sr.

Great place for the entire family! Variety of things to do! - Trails - Bike park & trail - Skate park - Playground - Basketball & Volleyball court - Leash free ???? park Just to name a few!

Mohamed Aboelnga

Very spacious and lovely park. We usually enjoy our time in there.

Brian O'Kane

Fenced in dog park. And it supplies poop bags and drinking water for dogs. Kids playground a short distance from dog park. A concrete skate park. And BMX tracks with different skill level jumps. A toboggan Hill in the winter and good climb good view in the summer. After dark you might hear coyotes howling in the woods. If you bring small dogs keep them close LOL

Christina Nemeth

I love everything about this park, except the play ground. It's pretty run down and the main attraction structure, is a spinning wheel that you can climb the ropes to the top, but it doesn't spin very well at all. Me and a few other parents exhausted ourselves trying to make the kids happy haha we were unsuccessful. The rest of the park is awesome! There are dirt hill ramp thing me and my son love the adventure up to the top of the hill where there is a bench and at night it's a beautiful sight of the "city". There is a little skate park for skateboarding, a dog park, a splash pad, a baseball diamond I beleive. A GREAT tobogganing hill. A soccer field I think lol. This is a great park.

Srushti Shah

Good view of the city

ABHIJITH AJAYAKUMAR

Nice park for viewing sunrise and sunset in Kitchener. Park for kids,dogs , volleyball courts and basketball courts along with mountain bike trail for cycling enthusiastic. Skate board park is also there .

Sasha Walker

The concrete at the splash pad is slippery when wet. My toddler slipped 5 times.

Aziz Hamid

Went with a friend early morning to view Gemini solar eclipse during its rise. The beautiful trails, lush green scenery, and opulent natural environment is breathtaking. The highest spot in all of KW region is here. Good for a weekend getaway into the wilderness.

Julia Glennie

Sledding! Woohoo. Probably the biggest (tallest and widest) hill in Kitchener.

Del F

Such a nice park! The people are nice and so are the dogs. I really like it here.

Katie Kish

This park is really great. There are good walking trails and many different playground sets for the kids. There's a music area and a sandpit... Lots of things to keep kids entertained for a long a few hours. The dog park always has lots of other dogs, there's only one big space for all sizes of dogs but the dogs that are there are always really well behaved. It's pretty muddy, though!

Rahul Gupta

Lush green park, lots of open space, cycling zone for thrills ..you can do tobogganing here..

Hafiz ikbal

Beautiful Sunny Day!

Rocks Crack rocks

The splash pad was right not much for shade what so ever and as for the test I need to do the rewards don't match.

Filipe Costa

Nice outdoors place to go with the family to do different things.

Jhe Monreal

Vishnu Venugopal

Best view in the region. Good to visit, walking, hiking and also biking.

Mariam Miakhail

Nicely maintained... plenty of parking space... something for every age group

Alexandra Vieira

The only downfall with McLennan Park is there are not enough trees or shaded areas to sit when its super hot out. Otherwise a great place to walk and run around!

Dan Weier

Great place to bring your dog.

Bruce C

Good hills for running, great view of the city as well.

Mirza M Abbass

beautiful park. great for walking, biking, playing... specially for kids. enjoyed view from top of the hill.

L

Great dog park however there is a few there (dog owners) that think it's their own park.... Sometimes aggressive hyper dogs are encouraged which upsets other smaller passive dogs

J Hogg

Bike Park - great place for kids to bike. small pump track. 2 tracks with jumps - medium and large. long tracks down the hill with jumps and those are particularly fun. If you just want excercise great hill for going up and down, fantastic view from top. Rest of McLennan park has small scooter/sk board park, good splash pad and nice playground. also soccer field. not a lot of shade around playground. washrooms under construction but portable toilets (yuck). check website as construction on street and have to enter bike park at other end.

Henry Hildebrandt

We enjoy coming out here, a park, splash pad, ice cream truck and walking trails to let the kids dry off before going home.

Rob Hofstetter

We are so happy that this park is still open. The kids Love it. It's very clean and everyone is social distancing

a very big park. Nice in summer and winter too for activities.

Mukto Akash

Park was a bit crowded, and the one way entry exit system is annoying.

Marcie Krupka

Love this park. Wish the bathrooms were open though because the portable ones were gross! Lol

steve messier

It is a great place to bring the kids and play in a fantastic splash pad and great play sets. Can get a little crowded but most people are all spread out well.

kamal kumar gunda

It's very big place to spend time with different activities like swings, ladder climb, shore mud digging, slides, water splash, hiking, etc... many more to have some beautiful outdoor activities...

Super Women247

Nice trails along the side of water.

Mike McKerlie

Volleyball courts are more gravel than sand. Bank of lights on third court have been burned out for a few years. City must be short on funds.

randall paul

Mount Trashmoor. Is a great view of the twin cities.

Vaishnavi Patel

My son likes the splash pad in the summer and it has a good park too

Vanessa Falcon

It's free and has really well kept trails and jumps

Icy in spots, so recommend cleats for boots. But good variety of terrain, dog park, and city views.

호딩

Good Park!~

Sree Padikkal

Awesome place to spend the evening. Peaceful location and well maintained.

Lisa Coupland

Love this place! Has a dog park, tons of walking trails and a huge play park for the kids! So much to do! It also has a bike trail and in the winter it has a crazy huge sledding hill. My picture is the view from the top of the hill. Its very nice. Free parking in a couple of different lots.

Salah Hussein

Nice park with large playground

Rob

It's a great place to go with the family, for tobogganing right now and walking your dog. In the summer it has all sorts of things to do like dirt biking and play areas for the younger crowd,but I like going there at night on a warm summer day and enjoy the view of the city and surrounding area.

Juan-Carlos Gomez

Greta place for tobogganing with your kids during the winter

Matthew Comeau

Good place to take kids to play. Or even just go for a walk.

Okelo

Big park, friendly atmosphere, many amenities, basketball court, splash park, batmonton, skate park. And big field for other activites

Ashley G

Pretty new to Kitchener and we have slowly been exploring different parks in the area. This has been one of the best so far, they have a small playground for toddlers and bigger one for older kids. It also has walking trails, bike paths, skate park, dog park, picnic shelters, and a splash pad. Couldn't ask for much more. My kiddo and pup had a blast. The only negative thing is that some of swings for younger kids were missing their harnesses so we couldnt use them safely.

Ben Pourm

Fun for kids Water is fun fun fun fun for kids I think all kids the liked summer time
