Previously occupied by a commercial establishment, the land along Lake Saint-Louis' shores was acquired by the Town after its building was destroyed by fire. With the help of a government grant under the Revi-Centre program, the city then transformed this new acquisition into a park and boardwalk. 

The Canal's Boardwalk was inaugurated in 1987, and now welcomes thousands of citizens, tourists and boaters during the summer season. Also known as "Parc en X" because of its design, this park is an important feature of Sainte-Anne Street and the canal.

Every weekend during the summer season, the Canal's Boardwalk Park transforms into a stage for local artists as part of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue's street artist program.

The distinctive character of this linear park is due to its landscaping, its wooden sidewalks that recreate the rural architecture of the past, and its picnic areas.

Several restaurants on Sainte-Anne Street have added terraces to their shop, adding to the boardwalk's appeal.

• 1987: Inauguration

208, Sainte-Anne Street, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue

Godin Park features many attractions including swings, slides, a roundabout, a small rock climbing wall, a wading pool and a recreational complex (courtesy of Club Richelieu).

There's also Michel Couillard's community garden, a picnic area with barbecues and, in winter, a skating rink.

The park offers a splendid view of the Lac des Deux-Montagnes, especially at sunset. This proximity to the lake is what prompted the Club nautique Le Pingouin to set up its summer base on this site. The club offers day camps, workshops and a boat rental service where one can rent canoes, pedalboats or sailboats.

The park was made possible by James Morgan, who donated the land to the municipality of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue in 1930, and by Sévère Godin, who enabled its development.

It also houses the town hall and other multi-purpose rooms designed to meet the needs of residents and the 40 or so associations active in the community.

In the past, the land at Harpell Park belonged to a certain Mr. J.C. Tremblay. Tremblay and the park was dotted with trees under which Sunday strollers would sit on cement benches to listen to the "Fanfare" playing under the roof of the " Pavillon " erected at the far end of the property.

A substantial donation of $25,000 from the Harpell family of the Garden City Press enabled the construction of a sports and recreation center. The Harpell building was designed by architect Napoléon Bourassa and built by the firm J.P. Desroches et Cie ltée in 1948. It was blessed in February 1949 by Abbé E. Charlebois, parish priest, and opened for official public use on November 5, 1949, by Viscount Alexander de Tums, Governor General of Canada and Commander-in-Chief.

In September 2021, a TrekFit outdoor training circuit was installed in the park and inaugurated under the name "Zach's gym" in memory of Zacharie Richard, a city resident and outdoor enthusiast who lost his life at the age of 20.
