Brewer Park Pond

Brewer Park Pond is an artifical pond located in Brewer Park in the neighbourhood of Old Ottawa South in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is connected to the Rideau River via a culvert. The pond was constructed in the early 1960s as a "swimming hole" from an area that had previously been a wetland of three small islands with channels between them in the Rideau River. The pond, which was completely separated from the river, was used for swimming until the pond was infected by bacteria and the spread of algae. The provincial health department ordered the pond's swimming facilities closed in 1971. During the 1970s, the pond was used for model yacht regattas.
