From parks and markets to emporiums and art galleries, here are five must-visit places in Hintonburg!
Nothing beats visiting local attractions with your loved ones. With the city finally opening, we’ve got you covered on five unique places to visit this summer in Hintonburg.
Ottawa River South Shore Riverfront Park
There is nothing more exciting than taking a walk along the river on a pleasant summer evening. If you are a fan of art, you are in for a treat as this riverfront gallery is a must-visit! Situated along the edge of the Ottawa River, the nine-kilometre-long Riverfront Park is known for its wonderfully sculptured and balanced stone art by John Felice Ceprano. This local artist built these rock sculptures back in the 80s to bring the community closer together. Riverfront Park is perfect for capturing insta-worthy moments, quaint views and enjoying long scenic walks by the beach and listening to the sound of the rapids!
Parkdale Night Market
Located at the corner of Wellington Street and Parkdale Avenue, the Parkdale Night Market offers a one-of-a-kind shopping experience – giving residents a chance to interact with different vendors from the market! Get ready to wine, dine and shop for some of Ottawa’s best local products, all under the light of the night sky. We recommend trying the mouthwatering burgers at Hintonburger, sip on local brews from Broadhead Brewery and Dairy Distillery and shop for arts and crafts from Warizi.
The Parkdale Night Market is open every Wednesday from June – August, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Don’t forget to visit this fantastic experience! Visit the Parkdale Market website for more information about their vendors and any upcoming events.
