Memorial Boulder

Highlight • Monument

Set just off the path in Waterloo Park, this large glacial boulder carries a bronze plaque honouring Prof. C.F. Thiele for his long-standing contribution to band music in the City of Waterloo. It’s an understated landmark—easy to walk past unless you pause—yet it reflects the park’s deeper connection to local history and community arts.

Columbia Lake

Highlight • Lake

Columbia Lake is a shallow, man-made lake designed as part of a stormwater and wetland system on the University of Waterloo campus. The water is generally still, with large sections of reeds and marsh around the edges rather than open shoreline. It’s not used for swimming or boating, but it attracts plenty of birdlife, especially around the quieter sections. The level can fluctuate depending on rainfall, so it can look different throughout the year.
