Dutchy's Hole Park, Riverside park in Sandy Hill, Ottawa, Canada.

Dutchy's Hole Park stretches along the Rideau River with walking trails, a wading pool, open grass areas, and Robinson Field for sports. The space connects different sections through trees, lawns, and river access for exploring the waterfront.

Dutchy's Hole Park, also called Robinson Park, lies on the Rideau River in Sandy Hill and takes its alternate name from Robinson Field, the football field it contains. Paths link it to Strathcona Park, the University of Ottawa's Lees Campus and, across a former train bridge, Parc Riverain/River Road Park in Vanier. The City of Ottawa uses it as one of three release sites for mute and black swans that live on the river in summer.

The park holds two community gardens, one for Sandy Hill and one for Strathcona Heights, where residents rent plots and grow vegetables and flowers through the season. The gardens sit beside Robinson Field and the wading pool, so gardening and play share the same ground.

Pathways link the park to Strathcona Park, the University of Ottawa's Lees Campus, and, across a former train bridge over the Rideau River, Parc Riverain/River Road Park in Vanier. The wading pool, playground and Robinson Field sit within the park itself, so most facilities are reached on foot from these routes.

This space serves as one of three official release points in Ottawa where mute and black swans are set into the Rideau River during summer months. It makes the park an important site for monitoring and protecting these birds in the local waterway.
