Claudette Cain Park — Attraction in Ottawa

It's one of my FAVOURITE places to go! The park has two parking lots, a splash pad, basketball hoops/court, a play structure, a covered gazebo for BBQs, walking paths, soccer feilds with posts, and a beautiful deck overlooking the canal.

Lots of shaded areas from all of the large trees. There is a beautiful big splash pad, and several playgrounds for kids of various ages. There is a lot of wide open space for kids to run and play. There are well maintained pathways to walk or bike on. Lots of people walk their dogs here.

You can go down by the river and stand at an observation deck where you can hear the sound of water and the wind as boats and birds float down the river. This is also a great place to stop at if you are going for long walks or bike rides because there's a gazebo with plenty of park benches under it for a nice lunch or a small break from sunlight.

The park includes a splash pad, a park and a soccer field for all the needs...
