Ottawa Recreation Search
Ottawa Recreation Search was awarded first prize in the City of Ottawa's
Apps4Ottawa contest!
10,000 courses.
1,100 recreation facilities.
1,000 parks and green spaces.
Never before has there been an easy way for residents to sort through the abundant recreation opportunities offered
by their city. Ottawa Recreation Search is a designed-for-mobile website that allows visitors to effectively and visually search
the recreation facilities and classes offered by the city of Ottawa, Ontario.
With a map of the locations of classes and facilities, and our advanced search tools, you can answer questions such as:
-
I have a 6 year old, what swim classes are available within 5 kms of my house? Oh, and I'm only available Monday and
Thursday evenings after 6 pm, and Saturday afternoons.
- Where are the parks where I can let my dog go off-leash?
- Where are the baseball diamonds and tennis courts near me?
- How do I get between two locations using the bike paths as much as possible?
- I'm a senior, what classes are offered for my age group, within 10 kms of my house?
- I want to browse the classes offered, what are the categories I can look for?
- Find me all the yoga classes in the city, but only during the evening.
This is just a sample of some of the ways you can search the city's data and have access to the resources that suit your busy,
urban lifestyle.
