## Recreation Infrastructure Density

Potter's Key contains 124 mapped recreation points, which form the largest category in the local amenity inventory. This count includes specific facilities such as the Pioneer Plains Park Ice Rink and the Crossing Bridge Park Ice Rink. The high concentration of these points suggests a substantial allocation of land to recreational use within the neighbourhood boundary.

The presence of multiple ice rinks indicates dedicated winter sports infrastructure available to residents. These facilities are distinct from the 15 park points also mapped in the area. Together, these amenities provide structured outdoor spaces for various age groups and activities throughout the year. The exact programming and operational status of these sites remain outside the scope of the current evidence. Sources:

## Transit and Daily Service Points

Thirty-four transit stop points are mapped within Potter's Key, indicating multiple intersections with public transportation routes. Names such as Hazeldean / Carp and Stittsville Main / Bandelier appear in the dataset. These points mark potential boarding locations along major corridors that serve the western part of Ottawa. The density of stops suggests regular service coverage across different street segments in the neighbourhood.

Daily service options include one grocery point named Farm Boy and three childcare providers. Brown Bear Daycare and Imagination Station are among the listed early learning centres. St. Stephen School is the only school point attributed to this specific boundary. These services anchor the daily routine infrastructure for households residing in the area. The mapping confirms their location but does not detail capacity or waitlist conditions. 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.
