About McKellar Park
McKellar Park takes its name from the neighbourhood park located between Wavell and Windermere Avenues, featuring a summer wading pool, basketball court, tennis courts, football field, ball diamond, and community centre. The Dovercourt Recreation Complex adds to the area's family-friendly appeal with fitness and leisure facilities.
The Glabar Park area of the community was developed between the 1940s and 1960s as single family homes. In 1985, townhouses were added, and more recently some single family homes along Carling Avenue have been replaced with low-rise apartment buildings, reflecting the area's evolution.
The oldest home in the area dates to 1890, though most housing was built between 1940 and 1970. McKellar Park is part of the greater Westboro area and benefits from proximity to the Ottawa River and scenic parkways.
