Trevor Park - Bells Corners, Ottawa, Ontario - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

Location: The official address for Trevor Park is 5 Trevor Crescent, Ottawa, Ontario. The park is relatively small, just over 100 meters across its longest dimension, occupying the space between Trevor Crescent on the southwest and Cherrywood Crescent on the northeast. The park lies on the southeast boundary of the Bells Corners neighbourhood of Ottawa, Ontario, situated against the Ottawa Greenbelt. Bells Corners is a small, largely residential, community, formerly part of the City of Nepean before it was annexed by the City of Ottawa. Bells Corners is entirely surrounded by the City of Ottawa's Greenbelt.

Description: Trevor Park is one of the smaller parks in Bells Corners. It derives its name from Trevor Crescent, onto which it fronts. At the entrance to the park, its official address, there is no sign to indicate the presence of the park. However, with a 50 meter frontage onto Trevor Crescent, the park is hard to miss. Trevor Park serves primarily as green space for the area. It is essentially a reasonably flat lawn with some trees in it, and some shrubbery and fencing around parts of its perimeter. It contains no benches, no picnic tables, no play equipment, no sports facilities, and no gardens. Indeed, the park’s sole city-supplied equipment consists of a trash barrel.

An unpaved path, heavily used year-round, runs from the park’s entrance on Trevor Crescent to its southern boundary, where it enters the Greenbelt, providing residents with access to the Greenbelt trails for walking, mountain-biking, or skiing. Trevor Park itself does not see a lot of usage. The rock of the Canadian Shield comes close to the surface throughout the park, and, as clearly seen in satellite photos, the surface is bare rock in some places. One of the park’s attractions to local children consists, after a rain shower, of a number of shallow puddles formed because the water cannot soak into the ground because of the rock. Park maintenance consists primarily of mowing the scraggly grass a few times in the summer, and the removal of such branches as fall from the park’s trees.

Trevor Park appears in the City of Ottawa's official database of municipal parks, and is searchable on Google Earth, and Google Maps, with images of the park’s entrance at its address, and some pictures of its interior, available via the latter’s Street View feature.
