Glabar Park is a neighbourhood in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada's west end. It is bounded on the west by Woodroffe Avenue, north by Carling Avenue, south by The Queensway and on the east Maitland Drive and by McKellar Heights. Its population is about 1,700.
The neighbourhood was first built in the late 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. In 1985 townhouses on Esterlawn Drive were built which is off Fairlawn Drive just behind Fairlawn Mall. Today a few houses on Carling Avenue have demolished and turned into low-rise apartments.
The neighbourhood is home to D. Roy Kennedy Public School, St Paul's Presbyterian Church, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Of Ottawa. It is home to two parks, Kingsmere Park and Castlewood Park. Kingsmere Park is the park with more of a social setting, it features a large wading pool in the summer, and a double-sized hockey and skating rink in the winter. These amenities are provided by the City of Ottawa. Fairlawn Mall is on Carling Avenue across from Carlingwood.

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
