RBJ Schlegel Park
A new community gathering place for recreation and social connection is open to the public. The City of Kitchener is thrilled to welcome the community to RBJ Schlegel Park, the site formerly known as South Kitchener District Park, at 1664 Huron Road.
This 42-acre parkland features diverse park amenities and green infrastructure to support the recreational needs and well-being of Kitchener residents. Completion of phase one features one of the City’s largest playgrounds, a splash pad, artificial turf fields that are now open for booking, a natural turf field, a cricket pitch and pathways.
The 2.3-million-dollar contribution from RBJ Schlegel is the largest sponsorship agreement in the city’s history.
“Partnering with the City of Kitchener for this unique kind of project was an easy decision for us,” said Chief Executive Officer, Jamie Schlegel. “My family has seen how much this city has transformed over the past 60 years we’ve been doing business here. This part of the city is growing rapidly with young, active families looking for recreational amenities nearby. We’re excited to welcome residents and visitors into the park and see so many enjoy and make use of this new space.”
