Woodpark, Ottawa
Woodpark is a small neighbourhood in Bay Ward, in the west end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is bounded in the north by Richmond Road, to the East by Woodroffe Avenue north, in the South by Carling Avenue and in the West by the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. The total population of the neighbourhood according to the Canada 2011 Census was 2,159.[1]
It is largely residential with commercial only on Carling Avenue. There is only one small park, New Orchard Park, within its boundaries, but both the Parkway and part of the Byron Strip are adjacent to it. It has no schools or churches.
The community was built in the 1940s and 1950s. Many apartments and condominiums were built in the community between 1974 to 1978 on McEwen and Ambleside Drive, just north of Richmond Road. During the 1970s many people left Quebec due to the Quebec sovereignty movement and moved into Ontario. There was a big expansion in Ottawa during that time and many high-rise condominiums were built. Woodpark was one of the communities in the west end to have a big development.
Woodpark is served by buses on Carling, Woodroffe and Richmond Road, and is adjacent to the Carlingwood Shopping Centre.
It is very close the NCC bikepath along the Ottawa River.
