For nearly 100 years, Aylmer's racetrack hosted horse racing. The historic site that was formerly known as Connaught Park and Hippodrome d'Aylmer is now slated to become an 88-acre European concept 'urban village.'
The Ottawa Citizen is reporting that Gatineau developer Alain Bouladier, who purchased the the former half-mile track last fall from Attractions Hippiques, could turn the area into a residential area with professional services and recreational facilities within walking distance.
“All the services and recreation needs will be in the community. You could have a library, community centre, businesses, green space, housing and public transportation in the neighbourhood,” said Councillor Alain Riel, who told the Citizen that Gatineau residents will be asked their opinion on how the area should be developed.
