Shaded. Cool. Soft, woodchip footing. We walked, but it would be terrific for running. Degrees cooler than the streets on hot days.

Very nice park for jogging or walking. They use wood chips on the paths which is much softer on the knees and better for the environment. I just wish it was bigger.

Pointe Claire has given the park some TLC. It is amazing. I have been in a while and the difference that I saw was great. The parking lot is all redone. The trails are all redone with wood chips. No more muddy spots. The trails also are all marked with some tidbits about the animals that live in the park during the seasons. The dogs had a good time as well as the kids while reading the signs.

Starting Point

To access the hiking trails, head to the main entrance located at 20 Chemin du Bord-du-Lac, Pointe-Claire, QC H9S 4H5. There is a parking lot available for visitors.
