McLennan Park, Kitchener
McLennan Park, located on the site of the former Kitchener Landfill, is a small woodland area featuring two stands primarily composed of hardwood trees. It includes good quality oaks and maples, though invasive species like Garlic Mustard and Common Buckthorn are prevalent.
The park is a popular spot for nearby residents, offering activities like dog walking and bird watching. Management aims to improve the park's aesthetics and enhance its recreational value for the urban environment. However, challenges include encroachment from neighboring properties and garbage dumping, which need careful handling due to the park's proximity to residential areas.
