On the east end of Waterloo lies one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city, Bridgeport. This gem brings the serenity that country living has to offer with the convenience of being a short bus, bike, or car ride to Uptown Waterloo. Due to its popularity, Bridgeport has expanded over the years to include neighbourhoods like Bridgeport North, Bridgeport East, and Bridgeport West.
Location
Bordered by the Grand River to the North, South, and West, Bridgeport is tucked away from the rest of the busy city. It’s one of the oldest and most popular neighbourhoods in Kitchener-Waterloo, home to the historical landmark (and it’s namesake) Bridgeport Bridge. The neighbourhood also has excellent transit with easy access to the Conestoga Parkway from both Bridgeport Road and Lancaster Street.
Amenities
The Bridgeport neighbourhood is situated at a crossroads in Waterloo Region, making it easy to access all kinds of shopping and entertainment in Downtown Kitchener, Uptown Waterloo, and beyond.
Kiwanis Park is a local favourite, located just a few minutes away in Bridgeport North. Described as the ultimate park, it has trails, ultimate frisbee fields, a dog park for your furry friends, and an outdoor pool.
During the autumn months, you can take the family for a day of fun at the pumpkin patch at Good Family Pumpkins on Bridge Street East. Just across the Grand River from Bridgeport is Bingemans, one of the largest recreational complexes in the area with a wave pool, splash pad, indoor playground and arcade, Boston Pizza, KingPin Bowling, and events all year round.
Bridgeport and the surrounding areas are mostly residential, but there are some local business that call it home:
Looking to do some shopping? A short trip north on the Conestoga Parkway will take you to Conestoga Mall, home to 135 stores and restaurants. You’ll also find Galaxy Cinemas Waterloo there, with ten theatres and an arcade for a fun night out.
Interested in a day trip? Follow Bloomingdale Road North all the way to Elora, a quaint little town full of shops, artisans, restaurants, a spa, and many trails along the Elora Gorge.
Restaurants & Food Services
For your day-to-day shopping needs, residents can head to the Bridge and University plaza to run errands at FreshCo, Rexall, and 7-Eleven. You can also continue down University Avenue East to find Zehrs, Shoppers Drug Mart, and several other ethnic and zero waste grocery options Uptown Waterloo.
Stomach rumbling? Golf’s Steak House & Seafood has been a local favourite for nearly four decades, specializing in different cuts of beef hand-carved on site. This KW landmark is also famous for their award-winning brunch buffet and a stunning view from their solarium, overlooking the scenic Grand River.
Here are several more popular food options just minutes from Bridgeport:
Students living in Bridgeport have the choice of attending Bridgeport Public School, located across the Bridgeport Bridge. This elementary school takes students from JK to Grade 6. Students can continue their schooling at Margaret Avenue Public School, which takes students from JK to Grade 8. Once they’re ready for highschool, children will attend Bluevale Collegiate Institute for Grade 9 to 12.
Looking to send your children to Catholic school? St. Teresa Catholic Elementary School is a short bus ride down Lancaster and takes students from JK to Grade 8. Once they’ve graduated, they’ll attend St. David Catholic Secondary School.
The YWCA Bridgeport Childcare Centre is also directly in the Bridgeport neighbourhood, providing care for children ages 2 and up.
Transit

Bridgeport, although it has a country-side atmosphere, still has great access to public transit. You can commute easily by jumping on the expressway at Bridgeport Road or Lancaster Street. GRT bus routes run regularly throughout the neighbourhood, which will take you to the Conestoga Mall transit hub. Here you can grab the ION to head Uptown Waterloo, Downtown Kitchener, and all the way to Fairview Mall.
One of the best things about living in Bridgeport are the beautiful green spaces that can be found within the neighbourhood. You can walk the Grand River’s banks on the Bridgeport Trail, a short path that connects 3 of Bridgeport’s largest parks.
Joe Thompson Park is located on the southside of Bridgeport with views of the river, where residents can enjoy the Bridgeport Sportsfields – a collection of 4 ball diamonds and a soccer field.
Across from Joe Thompson Park is the Bridgeport Community Centre. The centre is open for sports equipment rentals and they often host children’s events (like the annual summer day camp.) Your family will also be able to go skating or play hockey on their indoor and outdoor rinks.
Schafer Park is located right on the banks of the Grand River to give locals wide-open green space to enjoy the scenic view. Marisa Park, Tyson Park, Paige Park, and Sylvia Park all provide playgrounds throughout the neighbourhood, too.
