Parc des Éclusiers

Where we meet

Éclusiers Park is a must-visit spot for socializing and relaxation, located in the heart of Old Saint-Jean, along the banks of the Richelieu River. Whether you’re stopping by for a bike ride, a shopping trip, or simply to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet, this park offers a pleasant respite in a picturesque setting.

Carefully landscaped, the park offers comfortable spots to relax while enjoying breathtaking views of the river and the boats passing through the lock. Its direct access to the Canal-de-Chambly trail makes it an ideal starting point for outdoor enthusiasts, whether they wish to continue their walk or explore the region by bike.

One of the park’s most distinctive features is undoubtedly its impressive 200-foot-long illuminated bench, which features 26 panels depicting the history of the Richelieu River. In the evening, the lighting and the fire pit create a particularly warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a welcoming space perfect for gatherings.

The legendary Foyer, the true heart of the park, enhances this welcoming atmosphere. In every season, it becomes a gathering place where visitors, families, and friends come together to chat and enjoy a moment of relaxation. As night falls, it helps make the park a lively and vibrant place.

After your visit, extend the experience by exploring Old Saint John, known for its restaurants and local shops. Please note that alcohol is permitted in the park when accompanied by a meal, adding to the welcoming atmosphere of the place.

Éclusiers Park perfectly embodies the balance between nature, history, and urban life.
