Located just south of Ottawa, Greely Village Park accommodates both active and passive recreation, providing diverse amenities to attract a wide range of users, age groups, and abilities.  The completed 5.94 hectare park includes a full-size soccer field, skateboard and BMX facilities, tennis, basketball, junior and senior playground areas, shade structures, seating, open space play zones, landscaping, and walking trails to serve the local community.

The landscape design highlights Greely’s cultural past, in particular the quarries that defined the landscape of the surrounding region. Elements of these ‘remnant pieces’ are reflected throughout the park in limestone rock walls, salvaged native plant material, and the large swath of green space at its centre, offering a welcoming respite to residents and visitors alike.
