Champlain Park (French: Parc Champlain; also known as Ottawa West{{cite cgndb|id=FAYWK|name=Ottawa West}}) is an older urban neighbourhood in Kitchissippi Ward in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was considered in the 1930s as the west end of town. The boundaries of the neighbourhood are the Ottawa River (to the north) and Scott Street (to the south). To the east is Tunney's Pasture and to the west is Island Park Drive.{{Cite web |title=Community Associations - Our Kitchissippi |url=http://ourkitchissippi.ca/our-community/community-associations/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180905123140/http://ourkitchissippi.ca/our-community/community-associations/ |archive-date=2018-09-05}}{{Cite news|url=https://champlainpark.org/our-neighbourhood-2/|title = About us| newspaper=Champlain Park Community |date = 12 December 2011}} Westboro Beach is also to the west.
