Rockcliffe Park (French: Parc Rockcliffe[1]) is a neighbourhood in Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward, close to the centre of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Established in 1864, organized as a Police village in 1908, and an independent village from 1926, and ultimately amalgamated with the rest of Ottawa on January 1, 2001. As of 2011, it had a population of 2,021.[2] In 1977 the entire village of Rockcliffe Park was designated a Heritage Conservation District.[3] Rockcliffe Park is one of only a handful of surviving nineteenth-century communities of its kind in North America.[4]
