## Recreational Space Availability

Three park points are mapped within King East, including Luther Green and Wallenberg Park. A third entry is labeled simply as Park without a specific proper name. These green spaces provide local recreational areas for residents. The count reflects mapped points rather than total acreage or facility quality assessments.

Additionally, three recreation facilities appear in the dataset, such as Fear the Fighter Training Academy. Fred Astaire Dance Studio is also listed among these points. City-wide programs like Kitchener Fire Camp FFIT operate outside this immediate neighbourhood scope. Local amenities offer diverse activity options without establishing catchment boundaries or usage rates. Sources:

## City market context

From the Kitchener market article, 11 October 2026:

Kitchener's average home price fell 12% year-over-year to $646,213 in early October 2026. New listings dropped 21.17% year-over-year while active inventory reached 1,027 units. Kitchener's housing market is experiencing a significant price correction with a 12% year-over-year decline in average sale prices, coinciding with a sharp reduction in new supply that may be moderating further downside pressure on values.
