Ottawa's Central Experimental Farm

[On Edge]

We have the canal, riverside linear parks, the Hog's Back/Mooney's Bay/Vincent Massey set of connected parks, the arboretum/Dow's Lake area, and Major Hill Park, to name but some. How can anyone argue that Ottawa lacks parkland? The Experimental Farm is no park It is inaccessible huge fields of crops, the urban equivalent of a wasteland which simply makes commutes and travel more clumsy.
