Central Frederick neighbourhood is nestled in the heart of downtown Kitchener. This neighbourhood is brimming with history, tall mature trees, pocket parks, and community spirit like no other. The neighbourhood is home to a mix of dwellings: High Rises (45%), Single Detached (26%), Low Rise (18%), Semi-Detached (7%) and Row Housing ( 4%), that all fit together perfectly. We are home to lots of families with kids and young people with the largest percentage of residents being between the ages of 25-29 (our overall median age is 40). Our geographic bounds mean we reach out to the expressway, Victoria and down Lancaster, dipped into Weber Street East and back to the expressway via Krug.

Parks & Green Spaces
While Central Frederick is a largely urban area we are able to celebrate an abundance of greenery, from our tall mature trees that provide a canopy of shade in the summer to our three pocket parks: Weber Park, Mansion Greens/Gordon Park, and Brubacher Greens.
1. Weber Park
Weber Park is located at the intersection of Mansion, Edna, and Frederick Streets. It offers a wide variety of amenities, including a tennis court, basketball court, seasonal skating rink, community garden, ball diamond, and a playground. The park also has beautiful tree-lined edges with inviting spots for picnics and relaxation.
2. Mansion Greens/Gordon Park
Mansion Greens (also known as Gordon Park) is located at the dead end of Gordon Street. Often called the “triangle park” because of its shape, it’s nestled among the trees and partially fenced on two sides. The park features a simple play structure and benches, making it a quiet, welcoming spot to relax or play.
3. Brubacher Green
Brubacher Green, located on Brubacher Street, is a favourite gathering spot for kids in the neighbourhood. The park is enclosed on three sides and features great play structures, a little library, benches, and tables—all beneath a beautiful tree-covered canopy.

Little Libraries
A Little Free Library is a simple way to share books with your neighbours: “take a book, leave a book.” Most are small wooden boxes filled with stories waiting to be discovered. Each one has its own unique charm, cared for and stocked by members of the community. Think of them as tiny gathering spots where neighbours connect through the joy of reading.
