About Island Park

Island Park stands as one of Ottawa's most prestigious addresses, featuring gracious homes built primarily between the 1920s and 1940s along the scenic Island Park Drive. The parkway was constructed in 1910 by the Ottawa Improvement Commission to connect the Ottawa shore with a series of islands in the river between Ottawa and Gatineau.

The neighbourhood's homes reflect the architectural tastes of their era, with substantial construction on generous lots. Most feature single car garages typical of the period when the automobile was becoming common but before the era of multi-car households.

Island Park is considered part of the greater Westboro area and benefits from proximity to the Ottawa River, excellent parkways, and the amenities of nearby Wellington Village and Westboro Village.
