Location & Character
Exhibition Park is immediately north of downtown Guelph, and many locals consider it part of the broader downtown area. London Road generally separates Exhibition Park from Downtown Guelph, while Edinburgh Road forms a transition toward Onward Willow.
The neighbourhood is one of Guelph's oldest established residential areas. Mature trees, older architecture and proximity to downtown give it a character that is very different from newer suburban parts of the city.
Century homes line streets such as McTague, Mont, Tiffany, Lyon, Dufferin and Barber Avenue.
Large trees, established lots and older streetscapes are defining features throughout much of the neighbourhood.
Many homes are within walking or cycling distance of downtown restaurants, shops, entertainment and trails.
Housing
The neighbourhood is best known for century homes on mature streets, but it is not exclusively old housing. In newer pockets you'll also find 1950s-era bungalows, particularly around streets such as Avondale, Campion and Robertson.
That variety means buyers can find everything from compact character houses to renovated family homes and mid-century bungalows, often on established lots close to the park and downtown.

The Park & Lifestyle
Established in 1871, Exhibition Park has a long history in Guelph. Today it remains one of the city's best-known parks, with sports fields, Hastings Stadium, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, wading pool, green space and Exhibition Arena at the north end.
The park hosts community events and recreation throughout the year. The Guelph Royals play at Hastings Stadium, and the neighbourhood's central location also makes downtown restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, the Sleeman Centre and River Run Centre easily accessible.
