Mature and Picturesque
Bordering the scenic Speed River, the Riverside Park neighbourhood is one of Guelph’s most established and beautiful communities. Developed primarily through the 1950s to 1970s, the area features mature trees, well-built homes, and a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere.
The Heart of Guelph’s Green Space
The neighbourhood’s namesake, Riverside Park, is one of the city’s signature destinations — featuring gardens, picnic areas, walking and cycling trails, playgrounds, a carousel, and seasonal events like Ribfest and Canada Day celebrations. The park runs along the river, offering residents easy access to nature and recreation year-round.
Housing Options
Riverside Park offers a diverse mix of bungalows, side-splits, and two-storey family homes on large, landscaped lots. Many properties have been renovated or modernized while retaining the charm and character of mid-century architecture. Its quiet, tree-lined streets are a hallmark of north Guelph living.
Convenient and Connected
Located near Woodlawn Road and Speedvale Avenue, residents enjoy quick access to shopping, dining, and essential services, including the Riverside Gate Plaza and Walmart Supercentre. Commuters benefit from proximity to Highway 6 and the Hanlon Expressway for travel in and out of the city.
Family and Community Appeal
Excellent schools, nearby parks, and the strong sense of community make Riverside Park a sought-after area for families and long-term residents. Walkable streets, river views, and the vibrant park atmosphere give this neighbourhood its timeless charm.
