Square Chaboillez to become an urban park

An urban park, designed with its users in mind

Square Chaboillez, located directly across from Centre d’entrepreneurship technologique (Centech) of École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), will be transformed into a green urban park. It will be a space to take a break, meet people, and enjoy other activities. The central area will be left open and visible from the street to ensure public safety. New trees will join those already planted. Modern benches, surrounding green planting areas, will be added to encourage socializing and provide a sense of ownership for everyone coming to the park.

One of the distinctive elements of the park will be four small rain gardens which will be planted with perennials. During rain storms, these basins will hold water and limit discharge into the sewers. They will become islands of cooling and biodiversity, and will improve the user experience.
