Source-derived summary

Hunt Club Park (French: Parc Hunt Club) is a residential neighbourhood in Gloucester-Southgate Ward in the south end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The Ottawa Neighbourhood Study defines the boundaries of the neighbourhood as being Johnston Road-Blohm Drive and Hunterswood Crescent on the north, Hunt Club Road on the south, Hawthorne Road on the east and Conroy Road on the west. The neighbourhood generally corresponds to Census Tracts 5050001.08 and 5050001.07 which had a combined population of 8,825 as of the Canada 2016 Census. The Census also showed 5 people living east of Hawthorne Road, an area generally not considered part of the neighbourhood, but part of the former census tract.

History

Originally part of Gloucester Township, what is now Hunt Club Park was annexed by the city of Ottawa in 1950, though at the time it was just farm land. The neighbourhood began to be developed in the 1980s by Richcraft Homes, beginning in the west. The eastern part of the neighbourhood was re-zoned in 1987 from industrial to residential, and was completed within the decade. A further development was built near Southwood Park, north of Johnston Road in the early 2000s.

The name "Hunt Club Park" was first applied to the neighbouring Greenboro (also built by Richcraft) when it was being built in the 1980s. By the 1990s, Hunt Club Park was described as starting at Lorry Greenberg Dr, with Greenboro being north and west.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “neighbourhood in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q105063509. The first chronological checks are 2016, 1950 and 1987.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
