    Nice and clean kept park to hang around or go for a walk on a nice day. There’s a few things to see and do in the vicinity to keep you busy and some paid parking available as well.

    Absolutely incredible place to visit. And best of all it is free. In these days of runaway inflation under an ineffective and corrupt federal government it is nice to have places like this to take your family to. The walks here are great. Perfect for both small children and pets. You can play games here too. Like football, soccer and rugby. Also I saw some frisbee players here.

    Wonderful walk through history - but has great hiking and walking trails through the woods as well. Nice pavilions and fountains. This is where the Battle of the Plains of Abraham took place and the British took over Quebec from the French in the 1750's. The trails here lead down to the Citadel and old Wall in Old Quebec city. Wonderful green space - and make sure you check out the museum at the end of the park!

    The park is enormous. It spans a huge distance and had tons of historical pit stops. Lots of grassy areas to sit and play and picnic. I would say though there are two huge downfalls: 1. The paths are terrible... we had a stroller and there would often be crosswalks that did not dip down ti allow the stroller to pass easily. We had to off road. 2. The actual trails, paths, locations of different landmarks and how to get there...non existent. You have to use Google maps or wander. It is not easy nor obviois how to get everywhere. You would think with all the obvious money the government invests in Quebec City that they would improve the accessibility of their main park...

    This place is a must! To have more informations on Quebec City history or just to hang out. Sports: Cross-country skiing and skating in the winter time, roller or running otherwise. The colors of the nature, the air, the view. Everything is wonderful. This is truly the heart of the region. Have fun discovering Quebec's history, visit the Martello tours.

    Huge park right outside the old city - super close, well maintained with lots of areas with different bits and pieces to see and do, plus it's a big historical site which makes it even more interesting. Art galleries, gardens, the nature walk and more make it an easy place to spend a day.

    beautiful incredibly well maintained huge national park that lies in the heart of Quebec city the park begins at the fortified Citadel walls and has plenty of seasonal activities interspersed throughout the year, like cross country skiing , oval skating, and a separate hockey rink and 5 day concerts during sumner festival with 50,000 people regularly in attendance with a top band every night from different musuc genres s it's also part of the UNESCO world heritage site. it has a museum on-site, personalized walking tours with national park employees who give a detailed and knowledgeable background history of the battles fought here and the way of life of both soldiers and civilians ....absolute must see for travelers to Quebec City! washrooms on site are immaculate and modern and even has hot water coming from the tap, during winter!!!! ;

    Could see a lot of cool cannons here, the ones that pay tribute to the 1915 war. It's a large and beautiful space these are pictures of the steps we climbed to get there.

    Huge open space that runs along some of the defensive estructures of the old City. It suitable for jogging, hiking, practicing sports and the buildings that house Le Musée des Beaux-arts are spread out its surface

    Depending on when you go, you can find free 1 hour parking along Av. Ontario. The main attractions aren't well marked so, if you're coming to see the Plains of Abraham or other history pieces, know where you're going before you get there.

    Had a great day walking though this park. It is big so of you plan on walking to the end or will take 2-3 hours and about 7kms. We used the restrooms at the Rotunda in they middle of the park. There are also restrooms at the top of the governers promenade. We went in early autumn and there wasn't any cafe open so bring water and snacks. The views are amazing from the location! You can start your walk from the promenade in front of chateaux frontenac. Oh, and there is a nice nature trail on the east side of the park to walk along back from the south end to the north.

    Quiet, lovely park along the Plains of Abraham. Great views of the city and St Lawrence River. Clean. Plenty of benches for seating. Short walk from the old town. Great place to enjoy the view and get some fresh air.

    Beautiful place. All free of access. You can see the St-Lawrence river and could actually walk on the shorelines when it is low maree. Pieces of art to see also. Very beautiful place with free parking access. Has been freshly renovated it seems.
