Winter 2024 project update

The City of Waterloo has secured a contractor to complete the project's construction. Necessary tree removals will be completed in March 2024 with construction taking place between July and September 2024.

During construction, parts of the trail through the park will need to be closed to pedestrians and cyclists to allow the contractor safe access to the work sites for equipment, materials and deliveries. The work on Forwell Creek will need to have a portion of Hillside Trail closed between Lexington Road and Forwell Creek. The Laurel Creek work will close the part of Hillside Trail between University Avenue and the wastewater treatment plant.

A detailed construction schedule will be posted shortly and will identify when the trail closures will be in place.
