Vincent Massey Park

Vincent Massey Park is an urban park located in Confederation Heights that runs alongside the Rideau River. The grounds feature open meadows, wooded trails, and grassy spaces designed for walking, sports, and outdoor leisure.

The park takes its name from Vincent Massey, who served as Governor General of Canada from 1952 to 1959. His role during this period made him a notable figure in Canadian public life.

A monument dedicated to the National Day of Mourning stands within the grounds, commemorating workers who died or were injured in workplace accidents. Visitors often pause here to reflect on this important tribute during their visits.

Washroom facilities are available from May through October, and parking is open daily from early morning until dusk. Plan your visit around these seasonal hours to ensure access to amenities.

The park serves as a venue for large community gatherings, equipped with electrical hookups and barbecue facilities throughout the grounds. A dedicated bandstand provides a stage for outdoor performances and concerts.
