Notices
Mobility
Sports training is prohibited due to the reconfiguration of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve during the resurfacing work: removal of the multi-purpose track and introduction of a two-way traffic. For a safe cohabitation, reduce your speed and follow the directions of the traffic signs.
The access ramp, that allows automobile traffic between the Concorde Bridge and Macdonald Road on Île Sainte-Hélène, will be demolished and rebuilt. Delays and detours to be expected, reduce your speed and follow the directions of the traffic signs.
Winter activities
Parc Jean-Drapeau is the premier place close to Montréal and other urban municipalities to practice winter sports and partake of nature in an absolutely fabulous setting.
The Parc awaits all outdoor enthusiasts with an array of activities that will entertain people of all ages: open sliding, cross-country skiing, ice-skating, snowshoeing, winter biking, bird-watching, and plenty more! With its sustainable winter program, which is free and diversified, every trip to the Parc has the potential of being a special and rejuvenating experience.
Embrace your northern spirit through a variety of exciting activities and facilities that are second to none.
Activities
About 500 metres of ice trail in the woods with a great view of downtown Montréal.
Many trails over a combined distance of close to 6 kilometres for beginners and intermediates.
A huge, uncluttered slope with an easy ascent for people of all ages.
Set off and explore the islands on a winter bike with oversized tires; it's the perfect playground for a northern escapade.
A great activity to get a close look at nature and wildlife while exploring the Parc and its two islands.
Hiking
Most of the walking trails are accessible year-round, depending on the weather conditions: you will be delighted by the proximity to and outstanding view of the Saint Lawrence River and downtown Montréal
Bird watching
Birdfeeders are set up throughout the trails to make it easier for birdwatching. You will be able to see chickadees, nuthatches and woodpeckers, along with many other bird species: keep an eye out for them!
Ice climbing wall
During the winter season, a section of Parc Jean-Drapeau's climbing wall will be turned into a veritable ice wall, where climbers can practice various techniques and indulge in their favourite activity! Introductory courses also offered.
Entertainment
The Parc Jean-Drapeau team promises a one-of-a-kind experience with a quiz and musical setting relating to the weekends' themes.
The activity is over for the season
