Carlington residents will soon get a look at plans for an outdoor mountain bike facility at a local park — and there's both excitement and trepidation about what they'll see. In September 2016, city council approved the Ottawa Mountain Bike Association's plans to go ahead with an outdoor mountain biking facility on a plateau of Carlington Hill. And it has been for almost my entire life," said Sharon Boddy, part of the Friends of Carlington Hill community group. Sharon Boddy says she's concerned that plans to build a mountain bike park on the top of Carlington Hill will irrevocably change how people use the green space. It would be a key element of the outdoor facility the Ottawa Mountain Bike Association plans to build at the top of Carlington Hill.
