City of Ottawa Accessibility Spotlight - February 2025

Public Information about Accessibility Features in Parks 

 

City parks are important community assets that provide residents with opportunities for leisure, sports and play. Over the last several years, the City has included many enhancements to its parks to make play in our playgrounds more inclusive, and to provide park features that are more accessible for everyone to enjoy. 
   

As included in the City of Ottawa’s 2025-2029 Municipal Accessibility Plan staff have committed to improve the availability of information regarding accessibility features in our parks to residents, and we want to hear from you!
   

The City is seeking your input through an online survey to learn what accessibility features you would like to know about when visiting City of Ottawa parks and how you would like to access that information. 

The information you provide will be used to develop options for providing residents information related to accessibility features in parks.  

For accessible survey formats or communication supports (hardcopy, large font, audio, Braille, phone survey, etc.), please contact AccessibilityOffice@ottawa.ca or (613) 580-2424 ext. 33544.
