(Original) Charmant parc pour une balade ou pour juste rêver dans le calme en écoutant le son de la rivière et de la chute. Admirez aussi les colverts.

    A real gem in the north of Quebec city (Charlesbourg). A lot of green space, benches, tables for picnic, trails. It is too bad that there is a lot of noise around due to constructions.

    Beautiful place to walk around on a nature hike. Bring a picnic basket. This was Quebec City Zoo previously. Since closing this site has roughly 9 acres of nature and up keep grounds. Birds and different bird houses placed around the site. It has some beautiful buildings that was built from the last century Windmill and luscious gardens and flowers. There is washrooms and impressive surrondings. Creek and waterfall dam which homes about a dozen ducks. A must when in Nature walks.

    (Translated by Google) Magnificent little country park. The rustic facilities are still very pleasing to the eye. The gardens are equally beautiful and well maintained with great diversity in all seasons. (Original) Magnifique petit parc champêtre.

    One of the best parks in Quebec, a combination between the nature and the modernity, great for birthday celebration, family union, water fall, rivers, forest and trees.

    Extraordinary! Grounds are so clean. The garden and it's water fall is simply gorgeous. Very quiet, multiple trails are easy to find with benches and picnic tables to rest or have a happy picnic. A perfect stroll!

    An old zoo converted to a very pretty park. There is a small forest to do some light hiking too. Plenty of eating area for picnic or BBQs. Parking is free and there is ample space. Worth your while in the summer time.
