It’s easy to reach via bike paths along the Ottawa River from downtown, by car or by OC Transpo. But here’s the pièce de résistance: Beachconers Microcreamery and the Britannia Coffeehouse are just beyond the park’s eastern edge, meaning you can easily add ice cream cones, cinnamon rolls, muffins, and tea and coffee to your picnic."
