Parc Frédéric-Back
This is one of the city's most ambitious park projects — a former quarry and dump turned into a rolling green expanse with wide paths and striking white biogas spheres dotting the hills. It's big-sky and open, great for kids to run and bike, and the transformation story (trash to parkland) is a genuine talking point for older kids. It's by TOHU, so you can pair them.
A former quarry and landfill transformed into a vast, rolling green park with sweeping paths and dramatic white-sphere installations — huge open space to roam.
