Neighbourhood guide
What it is like to live in Summerside
Summerside is a newer family neighbourhood in the southeast corner of London, Ontario, east of Highbury Avenue and south of Commissioners Road East. It began as a Z-Group planned community, laid out for people who want to live in London but commute to places like St. Thomas, Ingersoll or Woodstock. By 2009 it was already called one of London’s newest communities, and building still continues today. The streets are lined with manicured lawns and young trees, a clear contrast to the city’s older neighbourhoods.
Family life centres on Meadowgate Boulevard. Summerside Public School opened here in fall 2022 with a YMCA child care centre, and Meadowgate Park has two play structures, a soccer field and a spray pad with change rooms. Carroll Park adds tennis and basketball courts. Just north, City Wide Sports Park has lighted ball diamonds, lighted artificial turf fields and a community garden, and Meadowlily Woods has nature trails along Pottersburg Creek and the Thames. The Summerside Community Club, run by volunteer residents, builds neighbourhood life.
Daily shopping is at the plaza at Commissioners Road East and Highbury Avenue, with more stores, restaurants and services further west along Commissioners. For many buyers the biggest draw is the highway, because Highbury Avenue runs straight to Highway 401. There are trade offs. Shops sit mostly outside the residential streets, the trees are still maturing, and Highbury Avenue South is being fully reconstructed from the Thames River to Highway 401 through 2026 and 2027, which will add time to some trips.

-
03
A century old bridge to the trails
The Meadowlily Bridge, built around 1910, still carries walkers and cyclists from the Thames Valley Parkway into the woods north of Summerside.
