Battlefields Park (Plains of Abraham)Once the setting for bloody battles between the British and
French, the Plains of Abraham today serves as Quebec City's 'green
lung', a playground and peaceful arboreal retreat, and venue for a
variety of fairs and events. The park is to Qu?©bec what Central
Park is to New York, covering 108 hectares and planted with 6,000
trees. It also features monuments and interpretive centres. In
winter locals and visitors alike, as well as several ski-trails
enjoy a giant skating rink. Summertime is ideal for strolling the
fragrant gardens, jogging or rollerblading, and picnicking.
