Great park but better in the summer. Then we can sit at a bench and toss the ball. There are also ramps into the rideau river where the dogs can swim. I haven't been here for almost 3 years as it was closed for city water install and they've now fenced off a 1/4 of the residential side of the park. The parking area is a little larger, perhaps 10 cars max but unfortunately some drivers carelessly don't park courteously. I won't know for 3 months but my dog & i used to enjoy the stream on the area across from the parking area. It's limited use , perhaps, 6 dogs as the shore line is steep and dangerous when muddy. Spring time will provide a clearer picture. The last time i was there the ramps, installed poorly, two years earlier were in dangerous disrepair for the dogs. They had installed a honeycomb configuration but much of the structure was broken and the earth underneath had eroded. A dog or a humans leg could easily step into the fractures with calamitous results.
