Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre (later Lincoln Heights Galleria) was a community mall located in the Lincoln Heights neighbourhood of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was located between Carling Avenue and Richmond Road just west of Lincoln Fields station. In October 2019, the mall was closed due to changing demographics in the area and departure of the Walmart store.Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre was developed out of a project named "Cinema City", proposed in 1964.

However, the following years saw no development. The project was repeatedly scaled down and expected construction costs rose to $85 million. The site's original developers eventually sold the land to a new team who instead proposed a $3.8 million single-story shopping mall. The mall broke ground on June 9, 1971 and opened on May 24, 1972, becoming the city's third enclosed shopping centre. In 1985, the mall underwent renovations and was rebranded as Lincoln Heights Galleria, though residents continued referring to the mall as "Lincoln Fields".In 2016, the Walmart store closed and relocated to Bayshore Shopping Centre. This cause the mall to lose a significant portion of its clientele. In November 2018, the Wendy's restaurant, housed in a separate building fronting Carling Avenue, burned down in a fire that police said was deliberately set.In January 2019, it was announced the mall's leases would terminate on July 31 of that year. The mall's eastern half was demolished in summer 2020. This left the Rexall and Metro stores in operation until they moved into two newly built spaces the following year.

Lincoln Fields is a station on Ottawa's transitway located at Carling Avenue and the Kichi Zibi Mikan. It is adjacent to the now-shuttered Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre. It is the main western hub of the transitway system and has a ticket sales and information office as well as a small convenience store.

The western branch of the transitway from this point is currently incomplete, forcing westbound routes to use existing streets such as Carling Avenue and the Queensway. The station has two distinct platform areas. One platform area serves main transitway routes 74 and 75 to Baseline station and Barrhaven, as well as routes 61, 62 and 63 to Bayshore station, and Kanata, along with numerous Connexion and peak period routes to the western and southwestern suburbs. A second platform serves routes that either branch off to Carling Avenue, such as routes 51, 57 and 85, or travel south on the Transitway (routes 58, 82 and 84). Elevated walkways connected the two platforms, however, the elevated walkway is now disconnected from Carling Avenue and served by a temporary pathway from the south side of Carling adjacent the east side of the transitway.

Connexion routes from Barrhaven, Bells Corners, Stittsville, and Kanata only allow passengers to get off at this station in the morning upon request, but skip it altogether in the afternoon with the exception of route 282 which provides service during the AM peak as well as during the PM peak. This includes route 283 that allows passengers to get off at this station upon request during the AM peak, but returns into full service during the PM peak towards Stittsville/Ottawa–Richmond. On December 6, 2020, the local bus platform at Lincoln Fields Station moved to the north of its original location due to construction work for the future Stage 2 O-Train station.
