Notices
Mobility
Rue des Seagull is one-way between Macdonald Road and Parking lot P11 due to the establishment of a pedestrian detour that provides access to the Biosphere.
The work taking place at the Biosphere should be completed by early June 2025.
Delays and detours to be expected, reduce your speed and follow the directions of the traffic signs.
Getting to the Parc
Sainte-Hélène and Notre-Dame islands, which comprise Parc Jean-Drapeau, are located in the Ville-Marie borough, in the heart of the Saint Lawrence River.
Visitors can use several means of transportation to get to the Parc, which is linked to Montréal and the South Shore by two bridges: by bike, bus, car, taxi or on foot.
During the summer season, there is a river shuttle that enables visitors to travel between Montréal's Vieux-Port area and the islands' green spaces.
But taking the subway is still the best way to come to Parc Jean-Drapeau! Served by a subway station that's open year-round, the Parc is connected to the city's entire public transit system.
Subway Station
The Jean-Drapeau subway station on the Line 4 — Yellow crosses the Saint Lawrence River between the island of Montréal and Longueuil. The subway exits are located at Espace 67. With its central positioning, the subway provides quick and easy access to the entire Parc.
