## Amenity Landscape

McKellar Park contains two mapped park areas, specifically McKellar Park and David Shentow Park. These green spaces form the primary recreational grounds within the defined neighbourhood boundary. The presence of these parks establishes a baseline for local outdoor activity opportunities. Residents can access these areas for general leisure and community gatherings. The mapping confirms their location but does not detail maintenance schedules or specific programming. This structural overview provides a clear picture of available open space. The data reflects current geographic attributions from the source dataset. No additional qualitative assessments accompany these spatial designations in the provided records.

The neighbourhood also hosts twelve distinct transit stop points along Dovercourt and Richmond avenues. These stops include intersections with Windermere, Mansfield, Wavell, Courtenay, Denbury, and Westminster. Additionally, seven recreation facilities are mapped, including the McKellar Park Fieldhouse and Ice Rink. A wading pool is also identified as part of the recreation infrastructure. Sources:

## City market context

From the Ottawa market article, 22 September 2026:

Ottawa's August 2026 sales-to-new-listings ratio dropped to 47.3% citywide, with apartments lagging at 43.0%. 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.
