More information on Major's Hill Park
Originally named Colonel's Hill in honour of Colonel John By, the architect of the Rideau Canal, this park was renamed after By was replaced by a Major. Established in 1874, the park offers a panoramic view of several major attractions, including Sound & Light Show on Parliament Hill, the Ottawa River, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the National Gallery of Canada and Notre Dame Basilica. It's also the location of Colonel By's original home, or at least its foundation, as well as a statue of the city's founding father overlooking the Rideau Canal. The park is located along MacKenzie Avenue, directly behind the Chateau Laurier Hotel.
