A new transitional development, the Jardins du Petit-Laurier, has appeared at the intersection of Avenue Laurier Est and Avenue Papineau.

Description

Les Jardins du Petit-Laurier is located at the corner of Avenue Laurier Est and Avenue Papineau, on the site of a former service station. It is used for urban agriculture, events, picnics, relaxation and… mini-golf!  

Minigolf and urban agriculture

The new public space features a six-hole miniature golf course. Balls and clubs are available free of charge and on a self-service basis. 

Neighboring businesses are also participating in the initiative by lending mini-golf equipment. You can borrow equipment at Coin Perdu (1677 Laurier Est), Bêden Càphê (1708 Laurier Est), and Frite Alors! (1562 Laurier Est).

Thanks to a partnership with the Cégep de Victoriaville, urban agriculture planters have been installed on the site. As part of their training, students in the urban agriculture program created an educational trail and edible landscaping along the mini-golf course.

The public square, mini-golf course and several planters are universally accessible.  

This transitional development follows decontamination of the site by its owner. The city has exercised its right of first refusal to acquire the land in order to build social and community housing.
