The Ottawa equivalents, then, are Major's Hill and Confederation Park. Maybe, eventually, that windswept plain at Lebreton will join them, but the depends on whether the surrounding development ends up being urban or more functionally suburban crap.
Other than demolishing billions of dollars worth of perfectly good real estate and replacing it with plants, there's no opportunity for Ottawa to have a central park in the Olmstead school any more. That's not such a bad thing, given Ottawa's tendency towards edge vacuums.
