Hunt Club Park[1] (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.[2] 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,[3] an area generally not considered part of the neighbourhood, but part of the former census tract.
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.[4] The eastern part of the neighbourhood was re-zoned in 1987 from industrial to residential,[5] and was completed within the decade.[6][7][8] A further development was built near Southwood Park, north of Johnston Road in the early 2000s.[9]
The name "Hunt Club Park" was first applied to the neighbouring Greenboro (also built by Richcraft) when it was being built in the 1980s.[10] By the 1990s, Hunt Club Park was described as starting at Lorry Greenberg Dr, with Greenboro being north and west. The area south of Lorry Greenberg is now considered part of Greenboro.[11]
