Palm Park

Palm Park is a vital piece of the Waterloo Greenway - an interconnected park system woven through various city-owned properties and easements. The greenway creates a vibrant urban gathering space while transforming Waller Creek into a thriving ecological corridor.

Palm Park is envisioned as a downtown destination for families within the Greenway. The park features diverse playscapes and recreational areas that cater to both children and adults. At its heart stands a historic 1930s masonry shelter house that we are reimagining as new park restrooms and gathering space. A new roof canopy will protect the historic structure while allowing the restrooms to be naturally ventilated and day lit. The park will also include a new shade structure and multi-use space.
