Summary

Kìwekì Point, newly redeveloped, restores access to one of the most spectacular lookouts in the National Capital Region, with panoramic views of Parliament Hill and Ottawa-Gatineau. This park is universally accessible year-round, and is connected to Major’s Hill Park by the new Pidàban footbridge.

 

A universally accessible path surrounds the park and features monuments, artwork and interpretive installations. Whispering Point is a breathtaking point of interest, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the valley, river and city.
