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.
Espace Roseraie Activities
Parc Jean-Drapeau is enhancing and diversifying its program offering with a variety of creative, entertaining and educational activities that are free for the entire family. It's a great opportunity to have fun in nature and enjoy the green spaces and the gorgeous summer days.
Through this initiative, you will also be able to discover some of the lesser-known areas of the Parc, such as the Hélène-de-Champlain pavilion's garden. This magnificent place, which is steeped in history, is where the citizens' activities will be taking place during the 2023 summer season.
The Parc's team invites one and all to take part in the various activities at the Espace Roseraie.
Combine activities!
Take advantage of your trip to the Parc to derive full enjoyment from the experience at this one-of-a-kind place: take a refreshing dip in the pool at the Aquatic Complex, indulge in what nature has to offer at Jean-Doré Beach, set out to discover the beauty of the islands on a bike, and much more.
