Get moving in parks
The city’s nature parks invite you to enjoy nature during March break. Set out for an adventure and discover the various activities they offer for the whole family.
- Maple taffy tasting on snow

- Orientation games to discover trail orientation using a compass

Parc Frédéric-Back proposes a family treasure hunt, followed by a guided snowshoe hike and snow games. After skating on the TOHU skating rink, you can borrow a kite or a Finish bowling game to play with onsite or outdoors.
In addition to skating, Mount Royal Park is a great place to hike. The “Les oiseaux, c’est chouette!” (“Bird Watching with your Family: It’s a Hoot!”) activity invites families to explore the park on snowshoes, where they’ll identify the animals that live there. “À la lueur de la ville” (“Snowshoe Tour : By the Glow of the City Lights”) offers a nighttime snowshoe getaway to discover breathtaking trails and mountain views.
At Parc Jean-Drapeau equipment rental will be available all week to allow families to discover skating, cross-country skiing, winter biking or snowshoeing. You can also enjoy new play structures and an animated sports field!
