Killaloe Station Park is a charming outdoor recreational space nestled in the heart of Killaloe. With its picturesque setting, well maintained grounds, picnic areas and natural playspace for children,  Killaloe Station Park provides a peaceful retreat for individuals and families looking to unwind and connect with the outdoors. 

Station Park was built in 1994 on the site where The Old Killaloe Railway Station used to be. That original train station was demolished in 1968. Two grey strips in the red brick walkway symbolize steel rails that once lay over the path.

Killaloe Pathways Park

Killaloe Pathways Park was ignited by a conversation between the Township of Killaloe Hagarty Richards and members of Friends of the Library regarding the potential development of a reading trail in Killaloe. The former Hoch Farm is the chosen location.

The next step was to find funding. The federal government’s Healthy Communities Initiative seemed like a good fit but it became clear that we needed a vision beyond the reading trail, so other community organizations were invited to brainstorm about what might be possible. From here, community support grew and more people and ideas were brought and incorporated.

The Killaloe Pathways Park supports the mental and physical well-being of Killaloe and area residents by fostering the intrinsic and reciprocal relationship between people and the natural world. It currently has a fitness trail, reading trail and has become home to the Community Resource Centre's greenhouse, gardens and orchard.
