Island Park Drive: Iconic by Nature
​

Island Park Drive is more than just a street — it’s one of Ottawa’s most recognized and cherished. Part of the National Capital Commission’s (NCC) scenic parkway system, Island Park Drive embodies the vision of a capital city designed for beauty, connection, and civic pride.

​

​Winding through Ottawa’s west end from the Ottawa River to the Central Experimental Farm, this tree-lined boulevard is celebrated for its elegant homes, heritage character, and the natural beauty that surrounds it. As an NCC parkway, Island Park Drive is maintained as part of Canada’s national capital legacy — a living landscape designed for both everyday enjoyment and long-term stewardship.

​

A Legacy of Landscape and Design


Originally conceived in 1903 as part of the Greber Plan to beautify the capital and connect green spaces, Island Park Drive reflects the ideals of harmony between urban life and green space. Its broad median, mature trees, and careful urban planning make it a standout in the capital’s urban fabric.

​

A Neighbourhood with Character


From embassies and historic residences to family homes and new generations, Island Park Drive is a community of diverse people who share a love for its peaceful charm and proximity to Westboro, Wellington Village, and downtown Ottawa. Whether you're walking the paths, cycling to Gatineau Park, or enjoying the display of Canadian flags that proudly line the Drive, this is a street that celebrates community, country, and continuity.
