Location: The official address for Morrison Park is 1095 Morrison Drive, Ottawa, Ontario. This sports-oriented park is located in western Ottawa.
Description: The main portion of Morrison Park is roughly rectangular, about 110 meters east to west, and nearly 300 meters north to south, sitting between Morrison Drive on the north, and the back of St. Paul Catholic High School on the south. Google Maps’ representation of the park suggests that, on its southeast corner, it may also include some green space around the north and east sides of Grant Alternative School.
Because of its size, Morrison Park has room for a number of recreational sports facilities. These include two tennis courts that are used for both public play and classes, two soccer fields, an asphalt basketball court, a running track, a ball field, and a boarded ice rink (in season) suitable for hockey. For younger children there are multiple swings, a play structure and teeter-totter, a mini-waterpark/splashpad with sprinklers, and a large open lawn area in the northeast corner. Morrison Park also provides a number of benches and picnic tables, including one under a covered gazebo. Parking is on-street; there is no public parking available inside the park.
Morrison Park appears in the City of Ottawa's official database of municipal parks. (See link URL.) It is searchable in both Google Earth and Google Maps, with images of the park available via the latter’s Street View feature.
