Sigh I love this park so much, for so many reasons. The beach here can get crowded in the summer, but the whole space is worth exploring. I've actually helped to throw a gorgeous wedding here in the heritage buildings a number of years ago, it was challenging but so memorable and I'd highly recommend it if you're willing to do the work and deal with the constraints of the space (when they reopen). But winter here is my favourite. We love to come here cross-country skiing as a family, being on these huge trails and wild edges of the island. It's always breezy here in the summer, even hot days are soothing, the waves are wild and you just feel a release from the heaviness of the city. All the more appreciated during these crazy times. read more

This park has parking right across the street. It's beautiful all year long. I discover that it's not only beautiful in the summer to take a walk and relax by the water but a place to enjoy pain! Yes this park has some great Obstacles (adults only!). I've been training my first year for spartan races and discovered a lot of groups use this park for some serious workouts. They take place all season long! Yes u will find us in short mid winter. Get ur tack shoes on and go try it out.. please make sure you don't try the the obstacles alone.. they can be dangerous. read more

I visited this park a few times before, mostly as part of the Israeli independence day picnic which we got together with friends for barbecue and Israeli games. Today we came here for the beach. Apparently, this is a very popular spot, or maybe its the 35C day that forced people to search for ways they can cool their body. I was a little annoyed I had to pay an entrance fee ( 5$ per person) and a parking fee (9$) I think you should either pay for the parking or an entrance fee that includes the parking. Anyway, the beach was super cool, sandy beach (if you like those) cool water that was perfect and the kids loved it. Too bad the swimming area is not really deep for swimming but if you have kids its exactly what you need. read more

Parc-Nature du Cap-Saint-Jacques - Parks Near Me - Pierrefonds, Quebec

We decided to go there around supper time on a Saturday evening, in one of those gruesome 40+ degrees humidex days. The good: Even though it was 40+ degrees, there was a good breeze and it was super comfortable, even sort of cold when sun was going down. Water warm. Not busy (at the time we went). Paid parking close enough to beach. Pretty clean. Lots of shade areas on sunny days. Fireflies can be seen on the way back to the car. The bad: Driving to paid parking confusing. Paid machine did not want to take credit card, prepare change. Garbage cans were full. No lifeguards and a "Do not swim" sign (people went anyway). Very charming place and a hidden gem on hot days. read more

Love this place for relaxing, sunbathing, swimming, playing and enjoying a beautiful spring, summer or fall day or night. Bring a guitar and some friends and make it memorable. Absolutely worthy place to make a weekly gathering of friends and/or lovers. This is a must for any lover of nature. Summertime is the time and place to come here and enjoy the "sand, sex and sun"_ Serge Gainsbourg. read more

La premiere fois dans ce parc, la plage....cela fait une éternité que je ne suis pas allée à la plage. La journée était juste parfaite pour profiter des rayons du soleil qui réchauffent, du vent et du clapotis des vagues. Quelle belle après-midi. J'y retournerai c'est quelques minutes du centre-ville. read more

It's a park for all seasons. We ski here in the winter and we bathe here in the summer. I don't have much to add to what the other reviewers said (they've covered it) but here are some tips: - There's a sweet spot in early summer before the young'uns have been released from school. The beach is deserted and amazing. We went in late May - it was such a great day. - Arrive EARLY in the morning in summer or winter. Parking can be beastly difficult. - The skiing is GREAT for all levels. I was a total novice the first time we came and I had no problems. There are a couple of little hills on the more difficult trail - great for learning. - Winter. Lodge. Cocoa. Fire. AMAAAZING. Do it. read more
