Andrew Haydon Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Haydon Park is a park on the Ottawa River in the city of Ottawa. It is situated on Carling Avenue at Holly Acres Road.
There is a bandshell for outdoor concerts and a picnic area. The Nepean Sailing Club is located nearby at Dick Bell Park.
Migrating Canada Geese and shorebirds stop over along the marshy edges of the river near the park. Resident Canada Geese also inhabit the park's two ponds resulting in the common feces problem associated with geese in parks.
The park was named after Andrew Haydon, former reeve of Nepean.
As with most parks in Ottawa, Dogs, even leashed, are strictly forbidden. This By-Law is enforced by the NCC.
 Geese have made the park their own. |
 A small windmill stands between the park and the Ottawa river. |
