Description
Bois-de-Coulonge park features trails made of asphalt, compacted rock dust and large stones. Allée du Sieur-de-Coulonge and Allée Sir-Henry-Atkinson are asphalt, and include several rest areas with signage, additional information, water troughs and accessible benches. Water troughs are also adapted for service animals.
The parking lot is located to the east of the park, and is the only place to park your car.
The area below the Écurie (where the toilets are located) is mainly made up of large stone paths. These include Allée du Belvédère, Allée du Bord-du-Fleuve and Allée des Lieutenants-Gouverneurs.
A staircase links the park to the Promenade Samuel-De Champlain. This staircase has no contrasting anti-slip strip on the nosing of the steps.
