Park Jacques Cartier

Park Jacques Cartier is part of the huge park of the city of Gatineau.

The park is located next to the Canadian Museum of Civilizations, at the foot of the Alexandra and Macdonald-Cartier bridges, offering panoramic views of Ottawa. The park is named after Jacques Cartier, a French traveler and explorer who, in search of the Northwest Passage, arrived at the mouth of the Ottawa River.

In winter, the park resembles a real snow city, where various snow sculptures and numerous slides for riding are built. In the summer, the park has many cozy corners for family holidays and sports are often held. In addition, the park annually hosts many festivals Gatineau - Winterlude, Tulip Festival and Canada Day.
