Copeland Park is a neighbourhood located in the west end of Ottawa. It is bounded on the west by Agincourt Road, to the south Baseline Road, on the east by Clyde Avenue and Central Park, and to the north NCC Bike Path close to the Carlingotn Industrial Park.
The community was built in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1970s a 21-storey high-rise called the Castle Hill was built at the corner of Caste Hill Crescent and Clyde Avenue. The high-rise is owned by Minto. During that same decade more townhouses and three high-rises were built on Baseline Road at Clyde Avenue. The neighbourhood is surrounded by woods.
The neighbourhood is home to Copeland Park on Navaho Drive, and Greenlawn Park. There are three schools Agincourt Public School, St. Daniel's Catholic School on Maitland Drive which moved to Gaston Vicent in Bel-Air Park in 2001, the built is now a day care, and Laurnetian High school which closed in 2005. Trinity United Church on Maitland is also home to the community.
