Dutchy's Hole Park

Dutchy's Hole Park[1] is a park on the Rideau River in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is part of the downtown Ottawa neighbourhood of Sandy Hill. The park has a wading pool, playground, and a football field, called Robinson Field. Pathways connect the park with Strathcona Park, the Rideau Campus of the University of Ottawa and via a former train bridge with Parc Riverain/River Road Park across the Rideau River in Vanier.

In 2006, Dutchy's Hole was adopted by the Rotaract Club of Ottawa as a part of the City of Ottawa Adopt-a-park program.

One of three locations the City of Ottawa uses to release mute swans and Australian black swans that inhabit the Rideau River during the summer months.[2]
