Strathcona Park, Public park in Sandy Hill, Ottawa, Canada
A 15-acre green space stretches along the west bank of the Rideau River, featuring a prominent hilltop fountain and expansive grassy areas.
The land served as the Dominion Rifle Range where soldiers trained before departing for the Second Boer War, later transformed into a park between 1904 and 1907.
The Strathcona fountain, donated in 1909, displays four figures representing continents through classical European sculptural design by Mathurin Moreau.
The park includes a baseball diamond, play structures, tobogganing hills, and connects to Vanier via the Adàwe Crossing bridge over the Rideau River.
Since 1986, Odyssey Theatre performs open-air classical plays each summer, incorporating international puppetry and dance-theatre on their northeast corner stage.
