Immense parc à chien mais au moins 0.5 km de marche avant d'y arriver! Piscine parfaite pour petits et grands. Les enfants doivent être accompagnés d'un adulte s'ils veulent aller dans l'eau pour y aller seuls doivent passer un test de nage
Les chiens ne sont pas admis dans la piscine , mais peuvent être sur le terrain autour.

We love this park! The dog park is the best in the Region, the grounds are very well maintained. I’ve not been to the pool but am sure I’d love it. We love walking the trails and heading to the canoe launch to let our dog get a drink of water and cool down a bit.
I do wish they had water available at the dog park for the thirsty mutts, but otherwise it’s great!!

Kiwanis Park is a fantastic spot for families! The outdoor pool is awesome—perfect for kids and a great place for family fun on a warm day. The park is spacious, well-maintained, and offers a relaxing environment. It's an ideal place to cool off and spend quality time outdoors with loved ones.

Our favourite dog park in KW! Huge open space for dogs to run freely. There are two divided, fenced in spaces; one for smaller dogs and one for larger dogs. It is also nice that the river is just off the path back to the parking lot so the dogs can go for a swim to cool down on a hot day.

We went for the dog park, and were not disappointed. Huge dog park, lots of space to run and a nice shady bit of forest along the one side.
One really awesome feature of this dog park is that it has 2 areas; a 25lb and under area, and a no weight restriction area. There's a shared fence between the two areas so large and small dogs can still greet each other without any risk.
The park supplies bags, although when I was there, there was a notice that there was no bags because people were abusing this service.
It's a beautiful 10 minute walk into where the dog park is from the entrance of Kiwanis park. Nice trail, and well maintained.

Playground is great for younger babies just finding their feet, toddlers and older kids/adults alike. We love it! There are lots of picnic tables and shade too. 😊

Its a great park to walk along the paths. Great views onto the Grand River. I didn't use the pool or any of the park services, so my rating is purely on the trail.
