Carlington Park, Urban park in west Ottawa, Canada
Carlington Park is an urban park in west Ottawa that features multiple baseball diamonds, spacious picnic areas, and a mountain bike pump track. The park sits on one of the city's highest natural points.
From 1960 to 1965, the main hill hosted a small ski slope with a T-bar lift. This facility was a popular recreation spot before operations ended.
The Carlington Recreation Centre hosts year-round programs and camps that draw local residents together and shape community life in the neighborhood.
The park provides free parking on the street and within the grounds, along with washrooms, change rooms, and covered gazebos. All facilities are easy to access and clearly marked.
At the top of the hill sits a water facility that supplies about one third of Ottawa's water. Most visitors pass by without realizing this hidden infrastructure supports the entire city.
