Gatineau Park Gatineau Park Gatineau Park () is located in the Outaouais region of Quebec, Canada. Administered by the National Capital Commission as part of the National Capital Region, Gatineau Park is a wedge of land extending north and west from the city of Gatineau. With a perimeter of , the park includes parts of the municipalities of Chelsea, Pontiac, La Pêche, and the City of Gatineau. The main entrance to the park is north of downtown Ottawa, Ontario. The park's area has a long history of human inhabitation and usage predating the arrival of European settlers. Its more recent pre-park history
Harrington Park (homestead) of the "Harrington Park" estate. The Court ruled that the remnant parts of the estate be divided between Alexander and John Campbell. The remaining portion (with the homestead on it) was sold at auction to the highest bidder, Sydney leather dealer James Rofe for ₤1,775, together with the under lease. The enforced sale ended the Campbell's interest in "Harrington Park". It appears that Rofe's interest was purely speculative for he sold the diminished Harrington Park to Abraham Davy in 1853. When Abraham Davy purchased "Harrington Park" in 1853, the property still had a significant amount of open forest and bushland.
