Paved paths suit strollers, chalet washrooms have changing tables, and a toddler zone and wading pool allow supervised play; absence of nursing room and weekend crowds slightly reduce comfort.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Enough time to stroll, play at the pond, and rest without rushing your baby.
Stroller-friendly walk:
Paved and compacted-gravel paths wind under mature trees.
Tip: Use the main loop to avoid uneven ground and nap-time disruptions.
Toddler playground:
Soft-surface area with low slides and baby swings.
Tip: Visit early to find open seats and avoid peak sun.
Wading pool splash:
Shallow pools safe for babies in swim diapers.
Tip: Bring a swim diaper and a change of clothes.
Picnic by the fountain:
Shaded tables near drinking fountains and pond views.
Tip: Refill bottles and warm bottles with nearby water fountains.
Snack at Robin des Bois:
Onsite café offers yogurt, fruit cups, and gentle snacks.
Tip: Order extras to go and eat under a shaded tree.
From mid-June to mid-September, the wading pool is open daily. In early spring and late fall, paths may be muddy. In winter, keep to cleared pathways and skip water features.

I’ve been to this park both summer and winter and here is what I think: In the summer, it’s the perfect spot for a walk or a picnic while soaking in the beautiful surroundings.

I was enthralled with not so much the size but the plethora of various attractions and activities that you can choose from. They pretty much have it all though I didn’t see a basketball court. They have skateboarding, beach volleyball...

This park is marvelous! It’s quite the spot in the summer - lots of people hanging out, picnicking, and enjoying the nice weather. It’s quite large and there’s lots of paths throughout to walk or run on. We just ended up here after going to dinner at a restaurant nearby, but we stumbled upon a free concert.
