We also offer a plethora of choices when it comes to recreation, boasting many parks, trails and natural areas for you to do some hiking, biking - or simply take in the beautiful scenery.
Situated on the Grand River, Kitchener is also the perfect destination for a day of fishing, kayaking and canoeing.
Our two scenic golf courses --Doon Valley and Rockway -- also offer a challenging yet fun day on the fairways.
Or, if you prefer to watch the action - rather than get in on it, our premier sports and entertainment facility -- The Aud -- is home to the Kitchener Rangers Junior A hockey club, as well as the Kitchener Panthers baseball club.
We hope you enjoy your stay!
