With a wide sandy shoreline on the banks of the St. Lawrence, RécréoParc offers a safe, family-friendly beach experience close to Montréal. The site features a playground, picnic areas, and a casual snack bar with a terrace for when you need a bite between swims. The water, fed by the river’s rapids, is clean and regularly tested, and lifeguards are on duty during open hours. Citizens of partner municipalities enjoy free access with proof of residency, while others can opt for day passes or seasonal rates. While BBQs, glass containers, and pets are not allowed, you can bring your own towel, snacks, and enjoy a carefree day by the water.
