Strathcona Park

Nice little park in the middle of the city where you can relax and watch nice sunset. I visited during the day but felt sunset must be amazing to watch. free parking available but gets filled pretty qucik. uottawa I just 1km away. ppl can even balance stones when the water in canal is lowwhich is now. you can also bring lunch or grab a bite with friends in here. must visit.

Gorgeous views over the Rideau River and a long elaborate trail, tons of greenspace. Beware of the gravelled path coming down Laurier. Family gatherings, festivals, play structures at the north end of the park.

We went there during a Family day festival organized by Ottawa Parenting Resource Centre and there were lots of amazing activities for kids of different ages and families

It’s a beautiful place to take a time with the nature and yourself.

I a good place, quiet to take a rest. It's beautiful

I have never much ventured into Strathcona Park but it’s very enjoyable when I do It has ample space and benches to laze about and take in the views. The river adds to the charm and of course those crazy geese and ducks are there to entertain you.

This park is a favourite of mine. So happy it happens to be in my neighbourhood. Lots of outdoor space, multiple pathways, ample benches to sit on, always a breeze from the water, and there aren’t usually a bunch of cyclists buzzing through, so it’s safe. I’m a cyclist, I just don’t think bikes and people sauntering mix well.

This park is epic! They have everything! Tons of shade and benches to sesh and chill! Amazing views! I love this park and will definitely be back!

Beautiful park with nice bridge and balls . Nice trail in the city, nice river quiet neighborhood.

I'm there several times a week, whether walking Skyler, out for a walk to chill or to sit and read by the river. On a beautiful sunny day, a very joyful lively place with so many families, groups, kids... Enjoy the sun, live music, nature, dog walks, frisbee days... And so much more. On a warm evening: Shakespeare in the Park!
