A new community space is coming to Riverside South!

The City of Ottawa is building a new community centre, library and district park in Riverside South. This project is located near Limebank Station, off Town Square Place. It will be the go-to spot for the community to gather, learn, and play.

The new facility will be a single-storey building that brings together a 2,323 m2 community centre and a 1,400 m2 library branch under one roof. The shared spaces will include meeting rooms, multi-purpose rooms, and a welcoming lobby. The surrounding park will feature sports fields, a splash pad, playground, and walking paths, designed to support a wide range of recreational activities for all ages. Both the building and the park will be easily accessible, inviting, and reflective of the needs of the neighbourhood, ensuring a vibrant community hub for years to come.

We want to hear from you! Join us at upcoming public meetings and follow our online updates to share your ideas and stay informed as the plans take shape. Your feedback is essential and will help shape the programs, services and features in these new community spaces.

    New community spaces are coming to southeast Ottawa

    Riverside South Community Centre, Ottawa Public Library Branch & Southeast Ottawa Recreation Complex

    Ottawa South is growing, and so is the need for welcoming, accessible spaces where residents can play, gather, and participate in local programs. To support this expanding community, the City of Ottawa is planning the development of two new recreation centres, designed to bring people together and strengthen neighbourhood connections.

    • Riverside South Community Centre and Ottawa Public Library Branch (250 Town Square Place)
    • Southeast Ottawa Recreation Complex (1863 Earl Armstrong Road)

     To ensure these facilities reflect the needs and priorities of the community, we need your input. Please take 15 to 20 minutes to complete this survey on behalf of your household. Your feedback will help to inform the planning, design and range of amenities that may be included in these future community spaces.

     The survey will be open until April 14, 2026. Additionally, you can email your feedback to RCFS-PublicEngagement@ottawa.ca.
