Andrew Haydon Park

A beautiful and scenic park near waterfront great for a walk, biking or having a picnic. The landscape and walking paths along the river are beautifully designed. A lot of geese and mallards inhibit the two ponds inside the park which are fun to watch for young kids. There are plenty of benches along the trails to relax and enjoy the beautiful sunset view over the Ottawa river. Parking is free as well. Overall a very nice park to relax and enjoy for the entire family.

Such an amazing park with scenery views! The best place for biking, hiking, picnic, and barbecue! Comes with playgrounds for kids, and public restrooms. My first time there for a festival but definitely not my last visit. The sunset view in this park is stunning …

This park is a gem and a walk along soothes the mind and soul. Pleasant to stroll along the Ottawa river and enjoy the serenity and smiling faces along the trail. With plenty of parking spots, benches and proximity to the Napean sail club, one can never go wrong with this park. Furry babies will love it as well! Anytime is a good time to be here!!

Nice spot to walk around.....there is an abundance of birds and if it hasnt rained in a few days they can leave a pretty big mess so watch where you are walking. Other than that great views, relatively quiet space, lots of areas for families and kids to play, a couple of play structures, picnic tables, public bbqs. Great spot to watch the sail boats as the sailing club is right next door. No swimming. Playground: Perfect place for kids Restrooms: Clean

This is one of my favourite spots in the city. You actually feel like you're in a cute little coastal town because you get to see the gorgeous river and all of the sail boats in the summertime. My kiddo absolutely loves watching the geese and ducks as we walk around the little ponds. She also enjoys the play structures and visiting friends. If you are looking for a fun afternoon, pack a lunch, bring your dogs, meetup with friends/family, read a book, listen to music, bring your kids, etc. Wear extra warm winter accessories gloves, hat, etc if you come here during the winter time because the wind is very strong/cold as it blows off the open water.

My favorite park in Ottawa. Bring your food and drinks, sit on the bench and enjoy the view. Free parking.

Great place to spend time with family and friends. You can have picnic and we can enjoy the wate

Lovely place to go for a walk. Watch out for the cobra chickens though! Very protective of each other.

Stunning park with variety of ways to entertain yourself. Amazing trails inside the park, along the wetlands, along the river and most impressive - one of the trail leads to sailing boat in a view AND to a light house :, water falls, BBQ pits, playground, splash pad and more. Kids can swim and play in the water too not like Petrie Island, but still. Place for all occasions - birthday parties, wedding, or even other occasions. Amazing place for photo shoot as well. Overall, its a place for the entire family.

Clean, pretty and quiet with nice view on parts of both Ottawa and Gatineau. Many small bridges make it quite quaint.
