Parc Jean-Drapeau

 

Let yourself be carried away by your child's heart and go skating on the magnificent ice trail at Parc Jean-Drapeau. Since it is refrigerated, the skating trail offers a smooth gliding surface and can remain open even when the weather is milder. Don't have ice skates? No problem! You can find the perfect pair at our rental center located very close to the huge Calder sculpture. We also offer a range of rental equipment and accessories to allow you to spend a day filled with outdoor activities in one of the most beautiful parks a few minutes from downtown Montreal.
