Mooney's Bay Park, Public park with beach on Rideau River in Ottawa, Canada

The park spans along the eastern shore of Rideau River, featuring a supervised beach, volleyball courts, children's playground and Terry Fox Stadium.

The bay was formed during the Rideau Canal construction when a dam was built, creating Hog's Back Falls with canal locks for boat navigation.

The location serves as a recreational center where residents participate in swimming, rowing, volleyball matches, and cross-country skiing throughout different seasons.

Visitors can access facilities including washrooms, change rooms, picnic areas, barbecue pits, tennis courts, and parking from 7 AM to 6 PM daily.

Three generations of the Mooney family maintained the position of Lockmaster at Narrows Lock for 87 years, leading to the current name.
