Commissioners Park, Urban park near Dows Lake in Ottawa, Canada.
The 8.95-hectare park contains mature trees, flower beds, and winding pathways along the shore of Dows Lake and Preston Street.
The land transformed from a lumberyard owned by J.R. Booth into a public park during development between 1920 and 1950.
Every spring, the park displays 250,000 tulips, continuing a tradition that started with the Netherlands' gift to Canada in 1945.
The park offers paved pathways suitable for wheelchairs and strollers, with paid parking available on surrounding streets.
Two identical statues called 'Man with Two Hats' stand in this park and in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, connecting both nations.
