Queen Juliana Park.

The Sir John Carling Building and the grounds of the property were always part of the Central Experimental Farm. Therefore, Queen Juliana Park is protected by the same regulations that protect the entire 1,000 acre site:

  • National Historic Site of Canada and Cultural Landscape.
  • National Interest Land Mass.
  • The Park is included in the 900 square mile memorial to Canadian soldiers who were killed fighting in foreign wars. The memorial was established by Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King and urban planner Jacques Greber.
House of Commons Ottawa March 20, 1968: Mrs. Jean Casselman Wadds, Order of Canada; Member of Parliament (Grenville-Dundas, Ontario), future Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom; Progressive Conservative: "What new buildings have been built at the Experimental Farm in the last five years, and what was the cost of each?"

Hon. J.J. Green (Minister of Agriculture):
1964, Department of Agriculture, 1964, Storage building, $14,765.
 1965, Plastic greenhouse, $10,794.
1963, Department of Public Works, East-west headerhouse, $322,213.
1963, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources-Seismograph Vault, $90, 421.

Commissioners Park is very close to Queen Juliana Park, and the land is part of the National Capital Commission Greenbelt. Greenbelt properties are untouchable.
