Work in progress

Work at family space
Work to design a new playground area is underway in the northeastern portion of Parc La Fontaine. The new area will include playground equipment and aquatic facilities that are adapted to the needs of children with reduced mobility. Opening in summer 2022.

Ongoing projects

• The Jardin du Petit Monde by bike (in French)

Since fall 2020, the northbound stretch of Avenue Calixa-Lavallée nord and the Pavillon de Calixa-Lavallée parking lot have become places where new cyclists can learn about the Highway Code. 

• The Bassin des merveilles (in French)

This project is in collaboration with La Pépinière and aims to revitalize the concrete space around the Parc Lafontaine pond. In summer 2021, a terrace was set up with refreshments and activities.
