Canal’s Boardwalk Park
136, Sainte-Anne Street, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue
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.

The club offers day camps, workshops and a boat rental service where one can rent canoes, pedalboats or sailboats.
