About Civic Hospital

The Civic Hospital neighbourhood has roots dating to 1801 when the area, then known as Bayswater, first opened for settlement. Ottawa annexed the area in 1907, and development continued through the early and mid-20th century, creating a mix of housing ages and styles.

The neighbourhood takes its name from The Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus on Carling Avenue, a major regional healthcare facility. Beyond the hospital, residents enjoy proximity to Dow's Lake and the Rideau Canal for recreation, and the Central Experimental Farm provides extensive green space.

Carling station on O-Train Line 2 serves the neighbourhood, with frequent bus service on Holland and Parkdale Avenues connecting to Tunney's Pasture station. This excellent transit access makes the Civic Hospital area attractive for professionals working downtown or at nearby employment centres.

Location & Boundaries

The Civic Hospital neighbourhood is bounded by Island Park Drive to the west, the Queensway to the north, Railway Street to the east, and Carling Avenue to the south. The broader Civic Hospital-Central Park area extends to Baseline Road and includes additional residential areas.
