Please join us for the grand opening of Anishà Park in Findlay Creek on Saturday, June 23rd from 2-4pm.
Anishà Park is a new neighbourhood park at Sora Way and Kelly Farm Drive.
The park was designed by Lashley + Associates Corporation in consultation with the City of Ottawa and a key stakeholder, the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO).
Anishà is an Algonquin word that translates to ‘just for fun’. The park was designed to be respectful of and celebrate the significant and important heritage and culture of the Algonquins.
The design is centered around the traditional medicine wheel and oriented to the cardinal points of the compass. Culturally significant symbols, materials, and vegetation have been incorporated into the design, with the primary goal of connecting users to nature.
There will be a smudging ceremony and drumming by the AOO. There will also be ice cream and popsicles.
Hope to see you there!
