Strathcona Park

A relaxing and beautiful park with a river view. Nice setting tables for picnic. Very clean park.

Lovely location. Easy to get to by bike or walking. Always people playing sports, hanging out, or walking through

Absolutely Gorgeous Park. I Loved the that everywhere you look, it's green and beautiful. I will definitely be visiting it again

Lovely little park on embassy row.
There is a parking lot and limited parking on the street.
Great for a stroll or just sit and enjoy the view.

Well, I just want to say that the houses around the park are very characteristic, which is embodied in the design and sense of age. As for the man-made monuments, it is more suitable for children to play sandpit games. However, this is a good place to play in the water. Cross the bridge from the parking lot and turn right and you will see the entrance of the river. The water is not very deep, but you need to pay attention to the smooth stones under the water

A beautiful park and a fun place to hold a picnic. There are plenty of places for children to play. The river is beautiful to walk along.

Parc magnifique, très long au bord de la rivière avec vieux bois et belles maisons aux alentours.

The fake ruins are a whimsical touch. The playground is a little small but the park is an easy walking distance to Dutchies hole wading pool (south along the bike path).

First time i ordered biryani they called after 30 mins and told me they are out.food not that great.

Nice peaceful park by the river. Lots of ducks and geese. Plenty of parking and easily accessible.

A beautiful park to spend the day at, lots of stuff for kids to play with. Only downside is no washrooms or water fountains.

Beautiful park. Shameful that they have locked their bathrooms to the public. Clearly not too worried about visitors' comfort

Beautiful park by the river. Has lots of green space with large trees, a playground, and a wading pool.

Nice park. Can be a bit crowded at times but it has a small but nice playground and a splash pool. The park is right next to the Ridue river wich is very nice.

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.

I love this place.close to Ottawa downtown, Has a sight to the river, large green space, fantastic to spend some fun time with the family and friends. Also, great place to run, walk, and bike.

The only caveat is the parking, there is only about 12 spots!

Enjoy!

Great park with a plethora of free grass space and bench seating! Also lots of local critters and old trees for an enchanting time.

This park is located beside a nice walking bridge that connected to another park on the other side. There are bench like bank along the river side where you can sit and watch the views of river and bridge.

Lots of places to chill, sit, do activities, shady areas sunny areas grass, wooden stage, concrete, playground, what more would you want from a park

Absolutely beautiful park and gorgeous bridge crossing the river. A wonderful place to go in the summer with the family to swim or for theater in the park. Stunning trees and landscape

Great park with nice atmosphere. There are cool ruins and a playground. It's pet/animal friendly. Always lots of wildlife and people. There's a local outdoor cat that hangs out, and lots of space to run around and play soccer/frisbee. Picnic benches to hangout on and a little sidewalk that goes pretty far down the river for runners.

Beautiful park in Sandy Hill. The bridge over the Rideau river boasts a pretty view in both directions. Definitely recommend for a nice evening stroll

Vanier side, full garbage cans, no night time lighting, dirty and full of drunks.
Sandy Hill side (Embassy Central) night lights, clean, plenty of organized activities. It's like apartheid

Small park close to the footbridge over the Rideau river. There are some nice benches to relax and enjoy the view of the river and the birds.

A slice of heaven right in the city. It's great for having rest, going for a run, or seeing one of the many outdoor shows.

Nice quiet place, sometimes traffic incurs, wonderful fountain, splash pool opens from 11: 30 to 18: 00, park with play structure, great for bike around with famjam, dogs are more than welcome, has water fountain high enough you can fill a rather long bottle:) enjoy!
Side note: at the end of the park there's a stairwell that leads to where plays of all sorts happen, come support your fellow ottawa artists! Nice bike trail that leads to the rideau falls at Sussex St.on the other side of the park

It is beautiful, sunny, shady, friendly to dogs. Has stone steps cut out to get down to the water, where you can walk right across to the other side while watching the water swirl down a 1-fomot level, and enjoy the ducks swimming around. It is absolutely serene and exciting at the same time. Beautiful friendly people to share it with, while watching the dogs and their owners play in the water finding rocks thrown by owners and children wishing to join in the fun.

Great park, good for a walk or a nice place to sit and read a book on a nice day. The Odyssey Theatre under the stars that they have in the summer is always a lot of fun.

Smoked a dumb amount of weed here back in high school. Also tried to sell weed in the park but ended up what the bag I was supposed to sell. Also had sex there once. By the water. Dead of winter. It was -25c. Good times.
