## Amenity Distribution in Island Park

Island Park contains 24 mapped amenity points across six distinct categories. Recreation facilities represent the largest group with 12 points, followed by six transit stops. The remaining points include one school, two parks, one dog park, and two childcare centres. This distribution highlights a focus on recreational infrastructure within the neighbourhood boundary.

The presence of 12 recreation points suggests significant local infrastructure for leisure activities. These points are categorized broadly as recreation without specific facility names or types. Transit access is supported by six stop points along Clearview, Richmond, and Scott streets. The concentration of these points provides a baseline for understanding local service availability.

## School and Childcare Presence

Elmdale Public School is the single mapped school point in Island Park. Two childcare facilities are also present: Elmdale Kindergarten School Age Program and Ottawa Children's Montessori Centre. These three points form the educational core of the local amenity set. Their presence indicates basic educational services are located within the neighbourhood boundaries.

The counts for schools and childcare do not establish catchment areas or enrollment capacity. They confirm only the physical location of these institutions within Island Park. No data on class sizes, waitlists, or program specifics accompanies these points. The evidence supports their existence but not their operational characteristics or demand levels. 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.
