Work is currently underway at the Berri-UQAM station to install elevators to service the ligne Jaune (Yellow line).
Wheelchair clientele can travel to Parc Jean-Drapeau by adapted transport or by using the regular bus lines.
STM Shuttles
The STM shuttle buses serving Parc Jean-Drapeau (767, 768 and 777 lines) have front and back access ramps. The buses also have a signage and sound system that enable a rider to visualize and/or hear the next-stop announcements.
Picnic tables
More than 150 picnic tables are available at the Parc, including 30 tables that are wheelchair adapted. The tables are located in the Floralies Gardens, Espace 67, near the Aquatic Complex and the Biosphere.
- The picnic tables are constantly moved around depending on the events and activities, so we cannot provide an exact geolocation of the tables.
