Awesome beautiful place to walk around..bring a lunch..sit and relax and spend time with family or loved ones. Good space for a run. A walk. We actually went to see these beautiful flowers and animal carvings and stuff..after walking around for awhile we asked a local..luckily spoke some English..they only had the animal carvings a couple years ago..not a constant thing..people who travel all over...

A beautiful little getaway in the heart of Québec city! This park has many amenities: parking, bathrooms, fountains, open spaces, lookouts, and historic buildings. I saw BBQs, but I don't know if they're permitted. A great place for friends and families to get together

This was the residence of the French and British Governors of Canada, now a government property. It had a spacious greenhouse and a bowling green that were demolished. This free park is accessible year round. It does not have public restrooms. It has a kid playground and picnic area. It is a dog-friendly park.

It is an amazing experience to see the animals curated out of trees, it requires lot of planning effort and patience. I definitely recommend young families to visit this place as kids love this place. Only downside is the parking which a bit far from the park itself but it worth the effort
