Barrhaven

Barrhaven extends across the southwestern part of Ottawa with numerous parks, schools, and shopping centers serving its growing residential population.

The area transformed from farmland in 1968 when developer Mel Barr initiated the construction of residential properties within Ottawa's National Capital Greenbelt.

The neighborhood maintains strong community bonds through regular events at Walter Baker Sports Centre, local parks, and recreational facilities throughout the year.

Multiple strip malls, including Barrhaven Mall and Chapman Mills Marketplace, provide residents with convenient access to retail stores and essential services.

The district features distinct sections like Pheasant Run, Knollsbrook, and Half Moon Bay, each maintaining their own character within the larger community.
