Central finding

Rothwell Heights contains 26 mapped amenity points distributed across four parks, sixteen transit stops, and six recreation facilities. Sources: [Combermere Park]

Physical Amenity Inventory

Rothwell Heights includes four parks: Combermere Park, Kindle Court Park, Niven's Woods Park, and La Vérendrye Park. These green spaces form the primary outdoor recreation base within the neighbourhood boundary as defined by the mapping dataset. The count reflects point locations rather than acreage, accessibility, or condition assessments.

Sixteen transit stop points are mapped along Delong, Massey, La Vérendrye, Quincy, and Blair streets. Named intersections include Delong / Rebecca, Delong / Combermere, and Blair / Briarcliff. This distribution indicates multiple access points but does not confirm route coverage, headways, or connectivity to broader transit networks. Sources: [Combermere Park]

Recreation Facility Presence

Six recreation points are attributed to Rothwell Heights, including the Combermere Park Ice Rink and the La Verendrye Park Ice Rink. Four additional points are labeled generically as Recreation in the source data. The specific programming, operating hours, or user capacity for these generic entries is not detailed in the supplied evidence.

The combination of parks and recreation sites provides a structured framework for community activities. However, the absence of municipal program listings means that current offerings cannot be verified from this dataset alone. Buyers should verify active programs directly with the city's recreation provider before making decisions based on facility availability. Sources: [Combermere Park]

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.
