What travellers are saying
- Julie MToronto, Canada2 contributionsBeach and playground are great but we travelled here with our dog from Toronto, and stopped on our way to Ottawa as an energy burner for the kids. We were frustrated that we couldn’t even walk the trails around the park with the dog. It was very limiting, especially on a hot day where the dog can’t stay in the car. We’d read the reviews beforehand and there was no mention of the dog restriction, which was disappointing.Written July 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ShawnNorwood, Ontario150 contributionsWe purchased a take-out lunch on Carling Ave. and took it down to the park to enjoy. What a treasure for a city to have such a huge park along the waterfront! There is a large, spacious beach, picnic pavilions, and a children's playground. One of the city's bike trails also runs through the park. Lots of places to play a game with kids, lay on a blanket to read, or simply stroll and people watch. My one suggestion for improvement would be to have more picnic tables available throughout the park area. The vast majority of the tables are located in one of the pavilions.Written September 12, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TrvlnTechOttawa33 contributionsPetrie Island is a beautiful park and beach in Ottawa's east end. There are washrooms open in the summer, and a grill offering food. Volleyball nets can be rented, and there are lots of picnic tables. Mosquitos can be bad at dusk.Written August 20, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
