Commissioners Park (Ottawa)


Commissioners Park in Ottawa, is a major tulip viewing area with the highest concentration of tulips in the region during the annual Tulip Festival, numbering as many as 300,000.

The park lies within the westernmost section of The Glebe, bounded by Dow's Lake, Preston Street, Carling Avenue and Dow's Lake Road. Throughout the warmer months it is a popular place for family walks. The National Capital Commission maintains the park and manages to keep flowers blooming there throughout the growing season.

It features a sculpture Man with Two Hats by Henk Visch (), commemorating the liberation of Holland by Canadian troops during World War II, which is identical to the National Canadian Liberation Monument in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands.
