I only take the dog there on evenings and weekends but I do sometimes use the tennis courts during school hours (many other do too) and it has never been an issue. Would obviously give way if there was a class. If you are feeling adventurous, you can also enter via the path/stairs/hill at the end of Church street. The dog loves bombing down the hill.(05-01-2021, 01:42 PM)danbrotherston Wrote: How do you get in? It's a wall along Stirling, everything else appears to be walking into the school yard.
I'm always a little wary of walking onto school property...maybe I shouldn't be, but it's not without cause, I was hassled rather....aggressively, when I was in University but returned to my old school to congratulate a favourite teacher on retirement.
Schools are public property and I believe you're free to go on them and use the facilities (playground, fields) so long as school isn't in. Most have signs that say no fireworks or dogs, but I've never seen one that says you can't be on them for any other reason. Kids and parents near me use the facilities outside of school hours all the time.

Primarily from the school parking lot -- but there is also a small entrance at the end of that wall, close to where Stirling meets Courtland.

Lol....I always wondered where those stairs went.

Yes -- but the stairs end up in the parking lot, too! Unless you are feeling particularly adventurous and want to climb down (or up) the slope next to the stairs.

I noticed the other week that Wright Auto seems to have moved out of their building on Ottawa St.
Does anyone know if there will be any action here in the next little while or will it just be vacant? I thought I remembered hearing about some plans for this property as well as the BMO but it must have been a couple of years ago now at least.

I seem to vaguely remember talk of an Asian grocery store being built here. I don't think it was T&T, but a very similar type of store. That was quite a few years ago though.
Edit: Here's an article on it from 2015. The article also mentions a previous idea to redevelop the property to mixed use residental. https://outline.com/nvEGsk

I heard Jay Fencing is moving in for now...

That would be uncomfortably close to the LRT, would it not?

Is this in addition to the Woodstock Head Office?

The owner retired, according to their website.

$14,000,000...yikes...
Any chance they get anywhere near that? Very interesting description. My first concern was for all the families that live there but it sounds like it's them that want to cash in...
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 05-04-2021
$10M/acre is pretty high, but it's a good location and a decent-sized parcel. Development has clearly spread out to Weber, which makes me happy that downtown is not just the King St strip. Admittedly doing successful retail on Weber will be tougher.
