Parc de la Confédération
Confederation Park is a national historic site located near the Rideau Canal and Parliament Hill. It's a great place to stop, enjoy the views, and learn about native history while in Ottawa but also a great starting point for walking the Rideau Canal. The park offers ice skating and ice sculpting activities during the winter and hosts large-scale events throughout the year.
On site, you will find statues and memorials, a totem, benches, a water fountain, but also lots of green spaces, birds and squirrels. Pop-up bistros welcome visitors to the park and there are also many restaurants and cafes within walking distance.
