Riverwood provides a unique outdoor experience. Located in central Mississauga, Riverwood
combines the power of nature, history and art to provide visitors with an experience unlike any
other. Visitors can enjoy using the Culham Trail and a scenic footpath located on the eastern
valley slope. While on the trails, visitors can experience spectacular views of wildlife
including deer, birds, squirrels and many other animals that make Riverwood their home.
CONSTRUCTION
Riverwood will soon be even more impressive. The City of Mississauga is currently in the
process of constructing a distinctive garden in the heart of the MacEwan Terrace.
Although under construction until spring of 2011, Riverwood park usage, parking, programming
and on site facilities will not be impacted.
Features of the garden will include:
- a variety of garden beds featuring perennials, ornamental grasses and specimen trees and
shrubs;
- a new primary walkway leading diagonally to the MacEwan House;
- an accessible pergola featuring vines and perennials;
- seating areas with benches and low walls;
- decorative garden fencing and stone columns;
- a network of secondary paths and enhanced wetland edge;
- new directional and park signage;
- donor recognition signage to acknowledge those who gave to the Riverwood Fundraising
Campaign.
The City of Mississauga will make every effort to minimize potential disruptions to the
community and our partners through out the construction process.
UPDATES
Construction Update: Beginning September 7th, visitors to the Mac Ewan House
or the Visual Arts Mississauga building should be advised that the walking path from the main
parking lot to these buildings will be hoarded off and should re-open by September 21st. All
