Ballantyne Park

Ballantyne Park is a small green space on the north side of the Queensway in Ottawa, featuring open lawn areas, trees, and seating throughout. The park functions as a neighborhood gathering place where people can take breaks and spend time outdoors.

The park was established in 1929 when the Ballantyne family donated their land to the city of Ottawa. This gift created a permanent green space within a developing urban area.

The park functions as a central meeting point for neighborhood activities, providing residents with opportunities for outdoor recreation and social connections.

The space is easy to reach from the street and provides simple walks and seating options for visitors. The best time to visit is on warm days when weather is pleasant and the park fills with activity.

Three original gas streetlights from the early 1900s stand on the grounds as rare remnants of the city's older street lighting. These restored fixtures show how Ottawa was once illuminated at night.
