Come along and learn about Riverside’s rich history dating back to the 1880s and explore what the future holds for this vibrant community. The neighbourhood has seen a huge transformation from a bustling industrial part of town with a vibrant sport and leisure community, to a now thriving mixed-use residential and commercial neighbourhood with a small-town-in-the-big-city atmosphere. The Riverside BIA is happy to share the past and the exciting future ahead!

The Riverside Community Garden is an amazing garden space right here in Riverside’s Joel Weeks Park. The garden is open to membership for anyone who lives, works or plays in the Riverside neighbourhood.

The garden operates on a communal model (shared space, no plots) during the gardening season from May – October to grow fresh vegetables and herbs. Membership is just $25-35 per season.
