Plan your visit

Getting here

Fifteen minutes from downtown by the 6 or 7 bus, straight down Bank. Driving? City lots sit behind Fifth Avenue Court and at Lansdowne.

Make a day of it

Morning coffee, the farmers' market by ten, lunch on a patio, an hour in the shops, then a match at TD Place. The strip is flat, stroller-friendly, and fifteen blocks end to end.

The Canal & Lansdowne

The Rideau Canal runs along the neighbourhood's east edge: paddle it in July, skate it in January. Lansdowne Park anchors the south end with the stadium, the square, and the lawn.

The full rundown, parking to seasons: plan your visit.
