Rideau Falls Park and Green Island

Rideau Falls Park provides an impressive view of the waterfalls for which the park is named. The twin falls mark the spot where the Rideau River flows into the Ottawa River. The 2.89-hectare park is the site of several commemorations, including the Mackenzie-Papineau Monument, the Commonwealth Air Force Memorial and the National Artillery Monument.

In the 1800s, the site was an industrial area powered by the falls. Rideau Falls Park was developed after the Second World War, when the area was acquired by the federal government and cleared of industry.

Rideau Falls Park is located at 50 Sussex Drive in Ottawa, a short walk from Rideau Hall.

• Parking : Parking is available at the park.
