Contractors in Mooney's Bay

Mooney's Bay is a mixed leisure, business, and residential neighbourhood in south Ottawa featuring one of the city's most popular beaches and the Terry Fox Athletic Facility.

Adjacent Riverside Park shares the area between Walkley Road, the Rideau River, and Airport Parkway.

About Mooney's Bay

Mooney's Bay combines residential living with exceptional recreational amenities. The neighbourhood is centred around Mooney's Bay Park and Beach, one of Ottawa's most popular summer destinations that hosts festivals and fundraisers throughout the year.

The area was originally settled in the early 1900s but saw most of its residential development in the 1970s. The Via Rail corridor (once owned by OCRR) divides the area, with Mooney's Bay to the west and General Vanier to the east.

The Terry Fox Athletic Facility provides sports amenities for the community, while the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club, which has hosted professional and amateur tournaments, adds to the area's recreational character. Residents enjoy easy access to the Rideau River and the beach lifestyle that defines the neighbourhood.

Location & Boundaries

The Riverside Park/Mooney's Bay area is bounded by Brookfield Road to the north, Airport Parkway to the east, CN rail tracks to the south, and the Rideau River to the west. The Via Rail corridor divides Mooney's Bay from the General Vanier area.
