Why go
Use the park to join several landmarks into one panorama. A short walk changes the angle on the locks and Parliament and shows how the canal meets the river beneath the civic buildings. The lawns also make this a useful pause between the gallery, market, and lower canal route.
What to look for
- Open lawn above the Ottawa Locks
- Views toward the parliamentary river bluff
Useful to know
- Use the park as a scenic connector and check event impacts before relying on a direct route through it.
