These mapped points define the physical inventory available to residents. ## Central finding Fairfield Heights contains twenty-three mapped amenity points, including five parks, thirteen transit stops, and five recreation facilities. Sources: [Marlene Catterall Park](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/68587791) ## Physical Amenity Inventory Fairfield Heights includes five mapped park locations: Marlene Catterall Park, Barwell Park, Winfield Park, Judge Park, and Grandeur Park. These green spaces form a distributed network within the neighbourhood boundary as recorded in the source dataset. The presence of multiple parks suggests varied recreational options for residents seeking outdoor access. Thirteen transit stops are mapped along Richmond and Carling avenues, including intersections with Lovitt, Dumaurier, Grenon, Highfield, Roseview, Scrivens, Bellfield, Ridgevalley, Kempster, Wylie, and Bayshore. This concentration indicates significant public transportation infrastructure within the area. However, the count alone does not confirm service frequency, route coverage, or actual rider volume. Sources: [Marlene Catterall Park](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/68587791) ## Recreation Facilities Five recreation facilities are identified in Fairfield Heights, including Michele Heights Community Centre, Michèle Park Ice Rink, Wading Pool - Michèle, Conservatory Swimming pool, and one additional recreation site. These venues provide structured activity options distinct from passive park use. The community centre serves as a hub for organized programs and social gatherings. The combination of an ice rink, swimming pool, and wading pool offers seasonal and year-round aquatic and winter sports opportunities. Residents can access these facilities without leaving the immediate neighbourhood. The specific programming schedules and capacity limits for these venues are not detailed in the supplied evidence.

The 4.3-point gap between segments reveals where buyer leverage is forming before headline prices move. Ottawa's August 2026 sales-to-new-listings ratio fell to 47.3% citywide while apartments recorded 43.0%, a 4.3-point gap that signals weaker absorption in the condo segment even as composite benchmark prices held near flat. This divergence matters because it identifies where buyer leverage is emerging before it shows up in headline price indices. ## Sources - [Marlene Catterall Park](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/68587791): date unavailable.
