René Lévesque Park

René Lévesque Park is a green space along a peninsula between Lake Saint-Louis and the St. Lawrence River in Lachine. The park stretches over several hundred meters with maintained pathways and open grass areas that offer water views from different vantage points.

The park developed its sculpture collection through international art exhibitions and symposiums during the 1980s and 1990s. This period shaped it into a significant location for contemporary art in the region.

The park displays over 20 contemporary sculptures created by artists from different countries, turning the grounds into an open-air art gallery. These works encourage visitors to move between nature and modern art as they walk through the space.

The grounds are open daily from early morning until late evening and have parking available nearby. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the pathways can be explored on foot or by bicycle.

The park functions as part of the La Riveraine trail system, which is used year-round for activities ranging from summer cycling to winter cross-country skiing. This connection makes it a hub for outdoor activities in the region.
