Located in south central Kingston this district is home to St. Lawrence College and Queen’s West Campus. Lake Ontario Park is a very popular location with a play area and splash pad. Portsmouth Olympic Harbour hosts many events throughout the year such as the Bridle and Garden Show. The boat launch at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour is a busy spot during the summer. The Harbour was built for trade in and out of Kingston and supplied the Kingston Penitentiary. Portsmouth Village was built to house the prison guards and their families. The Kingston Penitentiary was decommissioned in 2013 and have recently announced that tours of this facility will begin again in 2017.
