Parc de l'Ancien-Chemin-de-Fer

The park features multiple paved trails that stretch along a former railway line, connecting different neighborhoods through green corridors filled with native plants.

This parkland traces the path of a retired railway track that played an essential role in the transportation network of Sherbrooke during industrial times.

The transformation of the railway into a public space reflects Quebec's commitment to converting industrial heritage into recreational areas for community engagement.

Visitors can access numerous entry points along the trail system, with designated areas for parking, water fountains, and benches placed at regular intervals.

The park maintains sections of the original railway infrastructure, integrating metal tracks and stone foundations into the current landscape design.
