Byron Linear Tramway Park
Much of the park was once a railway right-of-way. The western section of the park forms the southern edge of Richmond Road and forms the complete area between Richmond road and Byron Avenue. Its path is winding and mostly tree lined. Seats and bus shelters exist in most city blocks. Parking is allowed along the section of Byron avenue from Golden west to Woodroffe Avenue, but not on other sections.
The eastern section forms the north side of Byron Avenue, but does not extend to Richmond Road. This section is also approximately 2.5 km long, but narrower in width.
A War Memorial, commemorating the dead of Westboro, is on the Strip, visible from Richmond road, near Golden. The park is colloquially known as the "Byron Strip".
The City of Ottawa is currently building a cut-and-cover subway tunnel along a 1.3 km stretch between Cleary and Richardson avenues as part of the western extension of the Confederation O-Train Line. This stretch will include two open trench stations at Sherbourne and New Orchard.
