Beautiful
park
offering
great
views
of
Parliament
Hill.
Located
only
5
minutes
walking
distance
from
Parliament
Hill,
this
place
offers
a
nice
escape
from
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
Ottawa's
city
center.
Apart
from
lush
green
vegetation
it
features
a
lot
of
historical
monuments,
statues
and
interesting
maps
and
also
an
unobstructed
view
of
Parliament
Hill
and
the
Rideau
river.
The
park
has
a
lot
of
seating
and
relaxing
areas
as
well
as
large
green
meadows
for
people
to
play
games
or
have
a
picnic.
It
is
clean,
safe
and
very
well
maintained.
Public
toilets
are
located
on
the
north
side
of
the
park
close
to
the
National
Gallery
of
Canada
(inside
are
free
toilets
as
well).
The
park's
location
between
Parliament
Hill
(in
the
southwest)
and
the
National
Gallery
of
Canada
and
Notre
Dame
Cathedral
Basilica
(in
the
northeast)
makes
it
an
ideal
midpoint
to
take
a
leisurely
break
while
touring
the
city.
During
our
visit,
we
encountered
local
volunteer
guides
wearing
blue
uniforms
who
graciously
offered
valuable
information,
maps,
and
helpful
tips
about
Ottawa,
adding
an
extra
touch
of
hospitality
to
our
experience.
Visited
on
a
Monday,
July
2023.
