Hubby and I were at the park only because there was event that we had heard if. It was late evening and visibility was low. Despite the fact that we could not see much it was still a sight to behold. I took some photos of the amazing landscape. We will definitely be back in the day or early evening to get a better view. However evening is still very lovely. We were surprised to see that there were many people like us out walking around and enjoying themselves—particularly dog walkers, families and people with strollers—as there are plenty of paths. We were there to attend a swing dance event put in by the ottawa swing dance society in the pavilion on the water. I’ve included videos of the event, which is every Friday in the summer from 7-10 pm. A very friendly and inclusive bunch!

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 dog(s), 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.

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.

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.

When in doubt, head to Andrew Hayden. Honestly not many places in Ottawa with scenic views and beautiful sunset. You can walk here, plan a picnic with your friends and family, play with your little ones or just take a picnic chair and relax looking at waterfront and setting sun. One thing to be warned about it the parking is limited and sometimes challenging to find a spot. Enjoy the park, cleanup after you are done and be respectful to others around you. Cheers.

Visited here during the 2019 Spring cresting of the Ottawa River. It is one of my favorite walking parks to visit. Me, my husband and friends visit here many times in a year. I took a few pictures of the flooding but everyone who is in the West End of Ottawa should visit. It is a lovely place. Good for family gatherings or just a stroll in a pleasant surrounding by the Ottawa River. Please note that the pictures included are not the normal state of the park.
