Mooney's Bay Park

This park is very fun for children and adults who enjoy playing with their kids! There are many different structures to climb and explore! The giant hill is a good experience to climb as well! The children ran all the way up and rolled down! Recommended to play at. This park has more of a family dynamic. Less "older teenagers" Downfall : When we went last weekend there was a bunch of garbage all over the ground around the play areas. Doesn't impede playing, but it is kind of gross and off to the sides. ALSO one of the play equipment pieces is broken. A wooden climbing structure near a big brown bear! Just watch the kids around that as well :. This was from an Easter Weekend visit.

Very beautiful, large park for children and adults! Lazanki, swings, a lot of playgrounds for children! The water is simply mesmerizing! Swimming, kites. It's all for you and your children! Great place for a weekend!

Great recreational space in the heart of the city, beside the river and close to the canal. The beach, park green spaces and play structures are great. The crowning jewel is the Atheletics facility pictured with soccer pitches included. Lots of options to keep you active, train and watch live events.

It was our first time back in a long time. We took the kids for a family fun beach day. We didn't know the rules so I thought I'd share. The experience starts with paid parking it accepts change, credit card or by phone. See picture We settled in and sent the kids in to swim. We were quickly informed that kids who are 7 and under must be accompanied by an adult in the water. Since we didn't know that we needed change for parking and the canteen was closed they open at 5. I went to ask one of the lifeguard supervisors if he knew where I could get change. Lucky for me he was very kind and helpful. The one thing I found confusing was the bathroom set up the womans bathroom is on the opposite side of the canteen from the men's. The signs are very confusing. We also visited the park before leaving. It is wood chips instead of sand. They have some very unique play structures. About 45 minutes was enough there for our 7-11 year Olds.

Mooney's Bay Park is a great public park in Ottawa. The beach is beautiful and has a nice paved walkway for people walking and strollers. Mooney's Bay Park has a beach, picnic areas, and a children's playground. It's a very busy park and beach all summer long. It hosts numerous events and festivals, including the Hope Volleyball Tournament and the dragon boat races.

The playground is climbers oriented. My 4yo had a blast. The washrooms were cleaned. The food was good. When it comes to the water, i like Britannia beach better. There were a few weeds and the sand doesn't feel ferm under my feet. Lots of tables, and garbage area. Parking is 10$ for 5hmax.

If there was a heart to Ottawa. This and the Arboretum are it. The views are spectacular at any time of the day, quite easily it's how many in Ottawa ease out of a week and relax beach side, or under the shade of the trees. The wild life contributes to the ambiance which is the heart beat of this city. Try to sit back and relax at either of these locations, the next time Canada's federal politicians decisions have you stress out. Or your work week. Promise you will find something fresh that leaves you happy every single time and if you still can't get it all off your mind try walking along the canal between both of these locations. That's something entirely different that other cities in Canada, just do not have.

The only negative is potential lack of parking spaces, however that depends on time of day. I usually go there few times during winter to enjoy some cross-country skiing.

Although Mooneys Bay is typically associated with Summer beach weather, it's a really nice place for a sunny Fall day too. Playground: This park features two playgrounds, a smaller older one by the patio area and the newer large one.

Very nice park on the riverside. Lots of parking and a huge playground
