"Queen Juliana Park is PWGSC future development lands. 15-20 storey buildings are planned, although the city will require park space/an urban square in the design when the property is redeveloped. Here is a comment from a recent city report:
"The property located just west of the O-Train south of Carling Avenue, known by some residents as Queen Juliana Park, is neither a municipal nor a National Capital Commission park in land use terms.
The property is owned by the Federal Government. It was used a a war time facility until the early 1970's. It is designated Mixed-Use Centre in the Official Plan and is identified as part of the Station Area in the Strategic Directions. The Secondary Plan follows the Strategic Directions and clarifies and fine tunes the height provisions for the site.
