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.
Discover & Learn: New Introductory Horse Programs
Designed as welcoming first steps into the world of horses, our introductory programs offer meaningful, hands-on experiences for those curious about horsemanship, no prior experience required! From casual, social interactions with horses to more structured skill-building programs: check out Discover Horses for a single-session, hands-on experience, or Riding Foundations for a structured, multi-week introduction to horsemanship.
Horseback Riding Camp: March Break and summer registration now open.
Our beginner day camps are designed for children with little to no previous horseback riding experience. We focus on an all-inclusive approach to horsemanship as a first contact for anyone interested in horses and equestrian sport!
Last year booked up fast, don’t wait to save your spot!

“We do a lot here.”
From introducing students to horseback riding through the Ian Millar School of Horsemanship, to camping, soccer, skiing, mountain biking, events and more. Take a look at what we have going on at #TheParks!
