About Leslie Park

Leslie Park developed during the post-war suburban expansion from the 1950s through the 1970s. The neighbourhood's most distinctive feature is its housing stock - 64% townhomes, the highest proportion of any Ottawa neighbourhood. This creates a unique community character with shared walls and common elements.

The Briar Green community within Leslie Park adds to the neighbourhood's identity. Graham Creek runs through the area, providing natural green space and drainage considerations for nearby properties.

Formerly part of Nepean, Leslie Park joined Ottawa through the 2001 amalgamation. The area maintains a quiet residential character with good access to parks and the Baseline Road commercial corridor.

Location & Boundaries

Leslie Park is bounded by Baseline Road to the north, Woodroffe Avenue to the east, West Hunt Club Road to the south, and Greenbank Road to the west. The neighbourhood includes the Briar Green community and is bisected by Graham Creek.
