Current Use
The area of the park just north of the Queensway contains a basketball court, two baseball diamonds, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a playground, swings and change room facilities.
Dogs are allowed in Hampton Park on leash but many people still allow their dogs off leash in the northern part of the park. City of Ottawa by-law officers have been seen in the park but it is unclear whether they have jurisdiction in the NCC-operated park.
There is also another park in the neighbourhood called Iona Park.

Famous quotes containing the word current:
“The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that positions be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one’s contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
