When in doubt, head to Andrew Hayden. Honestly not many places in Ottawa with scenic views and beautiful sunset. You can walk here, plan a picnic with your friends and family, play with your little ones or just take a picnic chair and relax looking at waterfront and setting sun.
One thing to be warned about it the parking is limited and sometimes challenging to find a spot.
Enjoy the park, cleanup after you are done and be respectful to others around you. Cheers.

We went for brunch on a Sunday noon. Brunch buffet $29 per person. Food was very nice. We actually liked almost everything. You can ask and they'll give freshly made dosa. They will get fresh parothas as well. I only tried non-veg curries and liked all. Salads was nicely made. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here with family, seating is limited but there's no rush in noon, at least when we went. I surely see myself returning for more. Cheers.

Nice park for night camping or just spending your day along the lake. Specially the picnic place around the lake with muddy beach is great for picnic with kids (gets really crowded on sunny weekends). Toilet access near the beach is good. It has a sandy volleyball court as well. You'll have to pay for day pass (I think $15 if you are not staying overnight).
It has nice camp grounds as well encircled with large trees with toilet access. Please beware of the tons of mosquitoes in and around camp grounds and make your life living hell so please carry some bug sprays and after bites. Wish they had more toilets around the camp grounds.
You can get ice and some bare minimum snacks as well from the front office at the entrance. All in all, had a nice experience here with my family.
