SmartCentres Ottawa South — Local services in Ottawa

Vast mall. Not pedestrian friendly. It's a long area to cover on foot and wide open to the elements.

To give you an idea of how far from one end to the other, it is serviced by 2 O-Train stations (Ottawa light rail public transit). One on each end. This doesn't even cover the full area.

The parking lot will have you frustrated and going up and down what may be roads. Often coming upon a conflict with other drivers who are just as lost as you are.

If you're just going to one spot, like Walmart, I guess this place will do. Avoid late night and always stay alert. As this area is known to have a criminal element and can be quite dangerous.

There are many shopping and entertainment options. Along with a couple banks and restaurants. Even a movie theatre. Be it...

Convenient location with large box retailers, fashion and clothes wear stores, tech and office stores, small food and coffee shop and a couple of banks. Conveniently located OC transpo station with O train access(closed for phase 2 of LRT) and park and ride.

Large ample parking however it’s very congested. Shopping carts are left by people wherever they want including in front, behind, and adjacent to your vehicle. Word of advice, PARK FAR away from where you’re shopping. There is not enough time in the world to be dealing with parking lot vendor benders or door dings or shopping cart dents to your vehicle.

Can get a few things done all at once with very minor challenges needless to say there...

Love this place; l would definitely recommend! Lots of products ranging from holiday cards to amazing novels to food stuffs, technology and even clothing. They also sell cosmetics and other daily necessities such as thermos, suitcases, kitchen wear, shoes and so much more. And all of these products are sold at affordable and reasonable prices. The staff is also polite, helpful and hardworking. This place is definitely a good place to get what you might need. There's also a Starbucks and a McDonald's!! Parking is also free and credit cards (as well as cash)...
