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.
Magic of Lights Ottawa returns for its 11th spectacular season, bringing holiday cheer and bright smiles to Ottawa’s west end!

This dazzling drive-through experience features over two million twinkling lights along a two-kilometer route with more tunnels than ever before at the Wesley Clover Parks Campground, all in support of children, youth, and families at CHEO. One carload, one price!
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.
“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!
