Walkerton Skateboard Park

Made possible by an agreement with the schoolboard, our Skatepark is situated on the south-east corner of The Walkerton and District Secondary School. Presently, the skatepark consists of a concrete pad 60 x 100 feet and accomodates a large half-pipe as well as numerous small ramps, rails and pieces of equipment.

Walkerton Heritage Water Garden

The Walkerton Heritage Garden contains a Memorial Fountain, which draws its inspiration from the biblical story of Moses striking a rock in the desert to bring water to the Israelies. It consists of a massive rock formation, cracked open, with water flowing out of it. Unlike the negative image, forged by the E.coli disaster in Walkerton, the fountain presents water as a positive, life-affirming and healing symbol. The garden also contains a 'Heritage Walk', with the story of Walkerton's proud history told in a series of plaques.

Walkerton Fishladder Park

This Vertical Fishway was constructed in 1986 under Ontario's Community Fisheries Involvement Program as a co-operative project of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Saugeen Rehabilitation and Fishery Council.
Fishways located at river barriers such as the Truax Dam provide passage for migrating fish to previously inaccessible headwater spawning areas.

Walkerton Cunningham Rotary Nature Park

The Walkerton Rotary Club was the leader in the development of this natural park that includes a winding path, complete with rest stops, leading to a scenic, covered "look-out" which gives a breath taking view across Walkerton.

Walkerton Memory Lane Park

This Community effort celebrates Walkerton's past. Memory Lane has one large picture of downtown Walkerton and seven smaller pictures. The large picture is of downtown Walkerton before the streets were paved. Other pictures include the cementing of the first road in Walkerton, Royal Canadian Legion Branch #102 on parade for Remembrance Day in the early 1960s, a picture of the Spool and Bobbin factory workers from 1918, and the Knechtel factory.
