The park lies next to Terminus Henri-Bourassa, served by the Henri-Bourassa metro station, with entrances on Henri Bourassa, Saint-Hubert, Lajeunesse and Fleury. Paths for pedestrians and cyclists cross the 10.5-hectare grounds, which also hold a playground, bowling green, community garden, skate park and indoor rink.
