The city has begun public consultations for the development of Fernbank District Park. Visit the city’s online engagement platform, Engage Ottawa, to download a high-resolution version of the concept plan and learn more about the project. You can provide feedback via email or by taking a survey, available until Thursday September 10, 2026. Our office will also be hosting an in-person event to gather your input—details to be announced soon.
Fernbank District Park is a central part of the Fernbank Community Design Plan. It’s a large, triangular site — over 8 hectares in area — located between Abbott Street, the Trans Canada Trail, the Hydro corridor/Clintonia Street, and Rouncey Road. It would be by far the largest park in Stittsville when complete. The park design concept includes:
- Combined junior and senior play areas, including sand play.
- Splash pad
- Football field, with lighting
- Cricket pitch (tapeball)
- Tennis and pickleball Courts, with lighting
- Soccer field
- Fitness area
- Outdoor rink (permanent boards), with lighting and puddle (skating) area
- Off-leash dog area
- Parking lot
- Designated (future) all-wheels area
- Designated (future) fieldhouse
- Shade structure(s) and gathering areas
- Park pathway and community pedestrian connection network.
The final park plan may differ from the concept being presented as a result of the public consultation feedback and/or site or financial constraints.
The park will be developed in accordance with all applicable city standards, including the City’s Accessibility Design Standards.
