This location is a hidden gem in Beauport. It is beside the walking trail and biking path that runs alongside of the Rivière Beauport. This is an easy trail to walk with little ones to get some shade, throw rocks in the river and if you do the whole trail from the park upwards it will lead to a large beautiful waterfall. This playground is an excellent place for children who love to climb and seems to have an alien/spaceship theme. Very well maintained.

PARC SAVIO

Arrondissment: Beauport

Address: 95 rue Savio

Nearest bus stop: Tanguay (buses 51, 250, 350, 550, 800)

This is a public park that is not connected to a playground so there is no swings, sandboxes or slides. This is a group of soccer fields placed together which creates a very large play area for soccer, baseball, flying kites, and having picnics. There is a couple sets of bleachers which is great for sitting and snacking.

This is placed beside a school with a baseball field and a playground but it does belong to the school therefore if you plan to utilize it, I would recommend doing so outside school hours.
