Best places: Parks in Ottawa, Canada

Waterfront public park with lawns, a bandshell, a picnic pavilion, playground & manmade waterfall.

👍👍 Best off-leash dog park in the area. Massive open space with some seating plus a huge amount of trails to explore. There is even a rainbow bridge to post your lost pup's tag which always brings tears to our eyes.

This 457-hectare forested nature preserve offers hiking, mountain biking & more.

👍👍 This is my go-to spot in the summer when I want to get out of the house, have a sunny walk, and maybe try to find some snakes in the tall plants. Very well maintained, quaint, relaxing. The best time to visit is during the week as it can get busy on a beautiful summer weekend. Keep an eye out for t...

👍👍 Great place to explore or just decompress, the mornings are sureal!

👍 Great dog park to use while visiting family. Not fully fenced so beware! Went in “winter” so it was quite muddy near the entrance but overall good space to roam. If your dog likes water ensure they have good recall when the ice is there, can be dangerous. Many friendly people and dogs but enough spa...

👍👍 Massive park between Centrepointe Drive and the Nepean public library. Soccer field, baseball diamond, pond, play structure and splash pad, tons of greenspace. Very well maintained. Bike paths run along the perimeter of the park.

👍👍 Attended my brother's wedding ceremony at this location. Nobody could ask for a more pleasant and serene location. Beautiful wildlife and animals, yet the 417 highway is so close yet not one noise from a single vehicle could be heard. Great spot to enjoy nature!

👍👍 There is a charming park by the river, located near a sailing club. It offers plenty of seating options for visitors to enjoy a breathtaking sunset.

😐 This place is probably better to visit once pandemic restrictions have been lifted, as the museum is currently closed. Access to the water is fairly limited and it's mostly a spot to have picnics it would appear. However the remaining buildings are well-preserved and the interpretive panels offer...

👍👍 Beach is good. Very good place to bring energetic kids to this park. Lots of different play structures..

👍👍 Great off leash dog park! They recently cleared out the lower branches of a bunch of trees at the north end, making the park much more open and easy to navigate while still leaving the trees in place.

👍👍 Since it's your beautiful ☀️ Beautiful place to go with your spouse and relax injoy the sunset 🌇☀️

👍👍 Great off leash dog park. Big car park where most of the time people park properly. Great big open field as well as woodland trails. Access to the water for dogs. Trash cans and public toilets too. Great for the whole family as walks can be as long or as short as you like. Great in all seasons.

😠 28 May. 27°C and all the other splash pad are open except the best and biggest one in Orleans. Wake up city services.

👍👍 Lots of shaded areas from all of the large trees. There is a beautiful big splash pad, and several playgrounds for kids of various ages. There is a lot of wide open space for kids to run and play. There are well maintained pathways to walk or bike on. Lots of people walk their dogs here. There is a...

Low-key park with a boat launch from a rocky beach, basic restrooms & a covered picnic shelter.

👍👍 Beautiful old walled gardens The colours and plant varieties change with the seasons September colours

👍 Great play structures and a really good splash pad, with lots of space for kids to run around in or set up a picnic. The only downside is the trees are still small so not a lot odlf shade.
