Waverley Park, Municipal park in Thunder Bay, Canada.
Waverley Park is a green space in Thunder Bay with mature trees and multiple activity areas spread throughout. The grounds between Waverley Street and Red River Road provide room for various sports and games, with a central fountain as a focal point.
The land was set aside as parkland by the Crown Lands Department in 1871, making it one of Ontario's oldest municipal parks. This early designation shows how long the community has valued this space.
The park serves as a gathering place where neighbors meet under large trees for leisure and activities like lawn bowling. Regular concerts and commemorative events shape how the community uses this shared space.
The grounds support multiple sports year-round, including cricket, baseball, lacrosse, and lawn bowling for different interests. Visitors should expect varied activities depending on the season and time of day.
The Hogarth Fountain at the center comes from the English estate Luton Hoo and displays sculptures of children and lions. This uncommon artwork gives the park a distinctive character that visitors often overlook.
