If you’re in Limoilou, this is a great alternative to Parc Cartier-Brébeuf if it’s crowded there, as it sometimes is. Despite being wedged in between a community center, Cégep Limoilou and some railroad tracks, it’s very quiet and serene there and is a green oasis for that part of the neighborhood. There are also several picnic tables and benches. It’s a pretty spacious park with separate play structures for younger and older kids. It’s clean and well-maintained, except for the slide for the younger kids which is broken and has been boarded off all summer. The slide for older kids is very high and not suitable for very young ones. The park also has a splash pad with an interesting art installation overhanging it –clothes hanging on a line, which you’ll see often in Limoilou. There are also some enormous, beautiful trees which create very good tree cover, so there’s plenty of shade at all times during the day.
The adjoining community center is a busy destination for summer day camps, and during the winter its huge pool is used for swimming lessons for all ages.
