One of the tourist parks in the heart of Ottawa. As the name suggests it it is dedicated to the creation of the Canadian confederacy. This recreative outdoor facility is well liked by tourists and locals alike. It has a number of interesting monuments including one dedicated to the animals used in battles. The best part is the open space towards the Rideau canal.

Nice little park to sit and relax when touring the parliament area, there's a cafe near the fountain where you can buy some snacks or a drink.

Beautiful little park. Unfortunately, some parts under construction right now.

Confederation Park is a centrally located park that is surrounded by the Rideau canal, Elgin, Laurier and Slater streets. It was a busy part of Bytown's upper town where British and Scotish people lived and worked and has continually been an important part of Ottawa's history. This area has changed functions throughout the years. Previously being an industrial logging hub, the luxurious Roxborough apartments that housed early Prime Ministers (William Lyon MacKenzie King and Louis St. Laurent) and was the home arena of the original Ottawa Senators hockey team (1908 - 1927) Today you will find it as a peaceful greenspace park that was designed as part of Canada's centennial celebrations. In the park you will find a large circular fountain that stood in Trafalgar square, London England (1843 - 1948) which was a tribute to Lt. Colonel John By (Founder of Bytown), an aboriginal war memorial, a Kawkuitl Totem pole and a Memorial that recognises animals, which helped/ help Canadian troops. This is a nice place to sit down and rest on the grass and enjoy lunch after a busy day. You can also find ice scuptures in the park during winterlude and colourful Christmas lights hanging on the older trees. It is also one of the locations of the Ottawa Jazz festival. If you like my reviews, photos or videos give them a thumbs up. Please keep Ottawa clean by throwing out your garbage when you are in the park.

I love this park. Even though it’s not so big but it has its own vibes. There’s always something nice to do like festivals and music around. It has a small coffee place and sometimes you can find kiosks and small activities to do. It is a really nice place to chill and enjoy the nature in the middle of downtown.

A great place to read a book or walk your dog on a sunny day! There's a couple benches around the park where you could sit and enjoy your lunch. If you work from financial district, this could be your go-to spot in the summer post covid.

A nice place to visit when in Ottawa. Nothing really that special about it other than it’s a central place in Ottawa that allows you to see different things in the city. I wouldn’t purposely visit it

Lovely place to sit and enjoy your surroundings.

Confederation Park is an urban green space that has great wide perspectives on surrounding buildings, a number of trees that provide shade on a hot day and plenty of benches to rest your weary feet after a walk through downtown. A totem pole, a couple of monuments honoring Canadian fighters, namely aboriginal- and Polish-Canadians, a beautiful water fountain and a few temporary art installations round up the things to see and enjoy in this smallish but memorable public park.

Very Beautiful Park near to Rideau Canal and downtown, I love the landscape and Plants type a lot, very quiet and you will enjoy the relaxation. Big spaces where the kids can enjoy playing in football, and drinks Mate. Who wants to take amazing pictures they should come here.

Been living a block away for 6 years and this is one the nicest that is mid the city. It hosts the Winterlude in Winter and Jazz festival in Summer. Some traffic at times as people cross it to go to Rideau Center or DOD but overall nice, quiet and clean. Sitting on the benches around the fountain can be relaxing whether be it escaping the city life for a bit or spending your lunch break at for the City of Ottawa staff or people who work in DT.

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful park, and it has some ancestral figures of the first men who inhabited North America. (Original) C'est un très beau parc, et il a quelques figures ancestrales des premiers hommes qui ont habités l'Amérique du Nord.

World's longest skating rink in the heart of Canada's capital. The conditions are now better maintained with snow removal and sweeping equipment which ensures skaters can see the any and all cracks as they come upon them. Great place for the family to social distance because the skating surface is wide and long. From start to finish one can skate 7.8 km all the while taking in the sights and sounds the environment can offer.

Perfect place to view the beginning of the Rideau Canal, how boats goes in and out from or to the Ottawa river. Nice trailbehind the parliament and a gift shop with nice souvenirs. In 2019, a groundhog was very friendly and we could feed it.

Amazing memories of this canal and simply the best skating rink in the world. As a foreigner, I had never experienced winters like this before but it was fantastic. To see so many people on the ice is a site to behold

(Translated by Google) So important these breathing spaces in the city. Pleasant, secure, maintained. To discover (Original) Tellement important ces espaces de respiration dans la ville. Agréable, sécurisé, entretenu. A découvrir

Awesome park right near all the historic landmarks of Ottawa. Great spot to stop, sit on a nice park bench and take a rest... With a good path to walk through and clean beautiful landscaped gardens and monuments to see. There seems to be always something going on to check out... Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area. With great views of the city, sculptures and local history.

It is a smallish park that backs onto the canal across the street. Nothing crazy to see or do here, but worth checking out if your already walking in the area near the canal.

It was calm and beautiful. Nice place to chill

Some community events happen here in this park some times. Nice place to sit down and read a book or eat lunch.

Very beautiful park in the heart of downtown!

Went exploring today, enjoyed the park and being able to see the geese and boats. Not always easy to maneuver around in a wheelchair near the canal but it was still worthwhile

I have had many wonderful moments in this park, from listening to concerts for the jazz festival, to celebrating the completion of a half-marathon, to partaking in Canada Day festivities. A lovely part of the downtown core.

Great place to relax and have fun!

SO PRETTY!!! Whole family loved it, wish we packed a picnic!

Overall, this is a beautiful park no matter the season. In the winter there are lights in the trees and a nice soft glow everywhere. In the summer the fountain goes and it's filled with people of all classes. I'm pretty sure there's some wild rabbits that live in the gardens as well that are cute to see. As for negatives: The steps up the McKenzie-King Bridge are almost always in significant disrepair, at least in the past decade that I've lived here. This part of Ottawa near the canal is, in general, not designed for disabled people either, leaving us to go long ways around to get to different places. But that's a city planning issue and not any more the case with Confederation Park than any other beautiful area along the canal.

A nice park in the middle of the city across from city all and beside the canal. Very pleasant

Nice urban park in the heart of Ottawa with easy access to city hall, the Rideau Center and Elgin Street. Public portapotties beside the fountain. This is a huge deal. All of the usual public bathrooms downtown are essentially closed to public access during Covid. - City hall is closed. Local coffee shops (I.e. Tim Hortons and Starbucks on Bank) have closed their bathrooms, even to paying customers.) Thanks for providing portapotties here.

A very nice park, nestled in the heart of the city. Beautiful memorials, a fountain, trees, beaches, and open space for several festivals.

Beautiful light whit someone you love

Downtown must visit everyone. All law abiding citizens welcome.

The light displays at the park are beautiful. They did a nice job 👌

The whole area is showered with things to see. It is good to see the acknowledgement of First Nations contributions to all that is Canadian. There is also a tribute to Oscar Peterson and his piano, which Kids like stopping by to play. The whole place is littered with history - Parliament Hill and the surrounds.

Great spot to pokemon because it has a few gyms and a lot of stops. Very nice place in summer to hang out, either next to the fountain or right on the grass! Seen a ton of cool stuff going on here, especially last year when I saw a dodgeball match!!! Mad scientists vs T-Rrx's!!!

Great spot to meet up with lived ones.

So nice place

Very relaxing 😎😌😎.

Beautiful park to sit down and relax !!Even better with a spliff!!!

Peaceful

Very nice place.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and a monument to the animals that participated in the world wars, a recognition of them. (Original) Muy bonito y un monumentos a los animales que participaron en las guerras moundiales un réconocimiento a ellos.

Very nice!

Nice to walk around and explore

Beautiful , serene, peaceful 🧘‍♂️🙂

A piece of nature in the middle of city's concrete

Nice outdoor bistro. Sadly weather dependent.

Love this park

Experiencing is believing , this place is very very comfortable.

Small and cosy park in the middle of Ottawa, good to take your food and eat out side your work place.

Easy walk through

So quiet and picturesque

It's a park .. not too much to say .. it does have a very nice fountain to sit near and the area is spacious enough to have small gatherings there

🖕🖕🖕🖕 I highly recommend going to it.

Nice and quiet place to have coffee or meditate

nice place

Pleasant walkabout atmosphere with benches, statues, and large fountain.

My favourite park in Ottawa, especially now that there is a Moulin in the Park.

Relaxing place :)

Great outdoor space in the heart of downtown. Something is always happening

This park is so nice to relax in, especially since they installed the Moulin de Provence popup cafe! So nice.

It was my second time here. Beautiful place to sit and relax

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful, well maintained. Peaceful and quiet place (Original) Tres beau, bien entretenu. Endroit paisible et calme

Great place to skate ⛸️ 7.8km!

Love the canal so fun lots of ppl to say hi to and enjoy nice long skate

Best time to skate aee weekdays early morning

Loved doing ice skating after a long time

Great site. Many paths for cycling and walking along the canal. Cruise boats available for sailing canal. Many people also out in Canoes. Magnificent views of many historic buildings.

Beautiful view from everywhere around of the river and the canal. When open the Bytown museum offers some good salt water taffy and a selection of maple syrup candies and bottles. Really nice hike down the canal that stretches through a large portion of the city that also offers some amazing views along the way.

Amazing tour and tour guide. Lots of interesting stories along the way. Our tour guide Braden was not only knowledgeable but had a great sense of humour and made is laugh along the way. A definite recommend.. Would suggest better signage though for where to embark.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place for a full day (Original) Très belle endroit pour une journée pleine aire ☀️☀️

Great ice!

Excellent!!!!🥰

My happy place!

AMAZING!

Beautiful in all four seasons.

I love skating on the canal! Now the whole length is open for business!!

(Translated by Google) It's a little disappointing that this year skating is not allowed, at the moment. (Original) C'est un peu décevant que cette année le patinage n'est pas permis, en ce moment.

So picturesque in the fall

Great scenery, great place to sit down, read a book and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Aren't we lucky

Amazing Ottawa.

It's history and it's beautiful area.

Always fun play on and learning about the Rideau Canal. Some much history there. Someday I would like to stand up paddle board it's length from Kingston to Ottawa.

Gorgeous place. There are places to go sit away from crowds. Really nice to visit

Always perfect 😎🍁walking from Wole Foods on Bank to Rideau Center, beautiful scenery, great people we meet along the way. Great excercise, fresh air.

The guide on our tour was very funny and made the experience memorable for us even in a pandemic.

awesome trail for cycling and walking

One of the best National Historic Sites in Canada, and the whole reason Ottawa even exists.

Friendly service..gotta love Tim's!

Great place to walk or jog.

Stay on the Queen E side of the canal - Colonel By has almost no shade on the path and is hot AF in the summer sun. But the QueenE side is mostly tree covered, and even leads into the Arboretum and the Fletcher Wildlife Garden - which are too beautiful and relaxing to miss.

Enjoyed a canal cruise led by Brennan. Funny guy with nice stories

Every time i go to the Rideau Canal I feel peace and calm

Ottawa is so fortunate to have beautifull cycling and walking trails all ove the city. The canal just happenes to be one if them.

Nice place for visits

Beautiful, peaceful and close to many amenities.

A lovely park for people watching & gatherings. Be careful in the Port-a-potty’s… That’s my only advice.

Very nice little park to spend some physically distanced time in and even better when fully open with all the benches and fountain.

Was lovely!! HOLD FAST We were there to FIGHT FOR FREEDOM!! NO VAXX PASS!! PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!! The lights set up in the park, I bet they are beautiful. I was there in the day light not able to see them shine! Wonderful maintained pathway.

So nice to see people enjoying the park the music and bustle of other activities going on after two years in lock down. The weather so inviting.

Nice place to unwind after the race weekend. Good for a sit down if you're busy walking around the downtown.

Beautiful green space right in the heart of Canada's National capital. Confederation park is directly across Laurier Avenue from Ottawa City Hall and on its far side, a flight of stairs takes you up to Mackenzie King bridge and The Rideau Center. Very close to the picture ask burrito canal, and on the other side a 2 minute walk from the national war memorial and National Art center. Many locals have lunch there or sit and read it's a wonderful place for visitors too. Note: It was closed and fenced off at times recently amid ongoing protests but all is open now and I believe it will remain that way so enjoy.

Beautiful Park to sit and relax at. They even have a little Cafe to buy a snack or a drink at. Very relaxing!

In Ottawa for a few days for outpatient treatments and decided to take a walk around the Parliament area and Sparks Street. Ended up walking along the canal and stumbled upon Confederation Park. What a nice area in downtown Ottawa this is and fairly quiet too. Took sometime to sit down and talk in this park while having a bottle of water from the Bistro takeout in the park. I think I’ll take another cruise downtown before I leave and walk abit more of the canal with another stop at this park!

Chill park on the city centre. Statues are all over with a fountain on the center. Some food trucks are here too.

Like that the terrain is relatively flat with no tricky holes in the grass. Also liked the paved path bordering the whole thing. Was able to navigate it without my Smart Drive. Wish I'd brought my water bottle. Couldn't reach the drinking fountain. Can buy it at the Bistro but water should be free! Great place to host Paint Fest! MUCH better than Parliament Hill! Not sure if the washrooms at City Hall were open. Would be another plus!

Skate rental was a little costly but the rink was so much fun. Was able to use my sledgehockey skates. Had a blast with my fam

Very nice and clean park in the middle of the city

This small downtown park provides some much needed green space, complemented by several intriguing sculptures. The park is also a popular choice among the homeless addicts making it somewhat unsafe at times.

A lovely downtown park situated right next to a little bit of everything. Lots of benches, shade, and play space. Being downtown, it can attract some interesting characters...but every repects everyone's space.

Visited for Jazz Music Festival. Visit it when there is an event happening.

The pigeons are very friendly. If you sit still for long enough, they will come to you. (Please don't feed them—ESPECIALLY not with bread.) The vibes are great, and there is a lot of art to look at and read about. One of my favourite details is that the dog statue's head, nose, and ears are slightly polished from all the people who have obviously pet it.
