                                    Description

                                    Parc de la Pointe-aux-Lièvres is located in the Saint-Roch district. Bordering the Saint-Charles River, it offers a wide range of activities in both summer and winter. The park has a number of adapted facilities. For more information, please consult the related services section of this page.
                                    The partially accessible rating is mainly due to the condition of the parking lot and the driveway to the entrance, followed by the washroom door, which is heavy to open.
