Matty R. • January 20, 2016Very beautiful here and scenic. What a great place to stop and eat lunch or picnic at.

François G. • November 13, 2010Visit the MBNA Geegee's booths: get a great credit card for free fans gear!

Norm T. • September 11, 2012I prefer Major's Hill Park. Quieter and great for a picnic.

Nicole S. • August 18, 2014One of my go-to photography spots. Love the park and water view.

Ziyada • January 14, 2011This is an excellent park. Just remember when getting ready for Winterlude and making snow, they won't let everyone in the park!

Cla S. • June 5, 2016Great park to exercise or just sit and appreciate the view

Reena B. • August 11, 2014Huge park with lots of spots for family picnics. There are tables, covered pavilions, a bandstand and tons of paths for walking and biking. Don't forget to bring money for parking.

Ashley • December 2, 2015A nice park to go with your beaches

Ken K. • July 7, 2011Beautiful sights and a very friendly and natural atmosphere. Truly a park for all occasions.

Danee G. • May 14, 2016Tulip festival is a great time of the year to visit this park. Early May.

Hina • July 30, 2016Wonderfully serene and secluded location not too far from downtown Ottawa. Only downside is there's no public transit that goes there. But it's worth the drive out!

Hannah P. • August 6, 2015My family and I love to order food or pack up a picnic to bring here for a family lunch or early dinner. Great for a leisurely bike, reading undisturbed or family pictures.

Ben W. • February 19, 2017The Pokémon Go scene here is lit. Great spot to view boats!

Elizabeth M. • November 16, 2015Movies in the park is a great community activity throughout the summer!

Ainsley C. • September 26, 2010New playground equipment, swings, fabulous splashpad, biking path, bathrooms, parking, lots and lots and lots of room for kids to run and play

Lorie Ann W. • October 5, 2012The wagon hayride at Halloween is very scary for the young ones! My kids were spooked.

Andrew W. • September 8, 2013Farmers market on Sunday is top notch

Reena B. • August 8, 2014Very busy dog park. Climb to the top of the hill and check out the view from the gazebo.

Jean C. • June 25, 2015Relaxing setting with nice trees and breeze. Close to Elgin and pubs

Billy D K. • August 22, 2011@Night there is no lights. It is pitch black. The city needs to install lighting for safety and sanitary reasons.

Geoff C. • January 12, 2012Try fishing the jock river, it doesn't seem like much but it hides some gems

Patrick B. • January 18, 2012This is a nice place to relax if you are making a bike, roller blade or walking trip from Ottawa to Gatineau. Go by in the small park next to the building and enjoy :)

jennifer g. • April 29, 2013Gorgeous spot. Probably one of my favorite places in Ottawa.

Reena B. • August 8, 2014Lovely place for a walk or a picnic, with several gazebos, paths and water features.

Russ S. • April 8, 2010Great view of parliament and area.

Jay L. • August 20, 2022Frequent Octranspo service and a Park and Ride lot

Reena B. • August 8, 2014Great off-leash dog park and picnic area. Pond has carp in early spring, then frogs, then turtles and ducks! Pond is drained in winter and becomes a toboggan run for the kids.

AJ L. • March 29, 2012Only 26 bucks gets you unlimited balls at the range for an hour.. Not bad when there's crappy weather outside

Joshua O. • March 21, 2016It's primarily used as a dog park. I'd like to take my family there for hikes/walks but all the excited off leash dogs are a bit much.

Reena B. • August 10, 2014Straddling either side of Bank Street, the west side is a spacious dog park, and the east is a frequent venue to open-air theatre and art festivals.
