Dundonald Park, Public park in Centretown, Ottawa, Canada.

Dundonald Park spans an entire city block between Somerset Street West, Bay Street, MacLaren Street, and Lyon Street in central Ottawa.

The park bears the name of Douglas Cochrane, 12th Earl of Dundonald, the final British commander of the Canadian militia in the early 1900s.

Two memorial plaques in the park commemorate Soviet defector Igor Gouzenko, marking its connection to significant Cold War events.

The park space measures 8,138 square meters and includes flexible tables, chairs, and community information boards for residents to gather.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police agents used this park as an observation point to monitor Soviet embassy personnel searching for Gouzenko in his apartment.
