Welcome to

The Parks

A four-season community hub for outdoor recreation.

A not-for-profit initiative, Wesley Clover Parks is an innovative, four-season outdoor recreation and learning hub dedicated to promoting health and education. We connect you with nature and the great outdoors in the National Capital Greenbelt that encircles the City of Ottawa.

Camping in the city.

Situated just 20 minutes from downtown Ottawa in a natural tree-filled setting, the Wesley Clover Parks Campground is a beautiful urban getaway equipped with places to bike, updated amenities and more.

Open May 3 – October 15, 2024.

Horseback riding summer camps.

Excellent horsemanship skills start with the very first horse or pony experiences! Designed for children with little to no equine experience, our beginner day camps are the perfect way introduce your child to horseback riding and feed their love of animals in a fun and safe environment.

2024 summer camp registration is now open.
