Parc Saint-Joseph

Have you ever seen a playground designed for everyone? Here at Parc Saint-Joseph, inclusivity isn’t just a word. It’s the very foundation of this incredible space. This park, nestled in the heart of the Vieux-Rivière-des-Prairies heritage district, is a testament to innovative design and community collaboration. Parc Saint-Joseph was developed by the borough in partnership with L’Étoile de Pacho. This organization understands the needs of children with disabilities. Together they have created one of the most avant-garde parks in Quebec. Imagine a place where children of all abilities can play together. A place where smooth, accessible surfaces replace barriers. Where ground-level sensory panels awaken the imagination. And a central “mountain” invites everyone to climb, slide, and explore. Parc Saint-Joseph boasts a 1450-square-metre inclusive playground. This playground offers a unique experience. It has giant spheres for climbing and tall slides for thrilling descents. A transfer system assists children in accessing the smaller slide. This helps them develop essential skills like trunk stability and balance. The long rails on one of the hill’s steep surfaces add an extra challenge. Beyond the playground, Parc Saint-Joseph offers even more. Interactive sensory panels and outdoor musical instruments encourage creative expression. A raised sand table, integrated within a sandbox, allows children of all abilities to play side-by-side. And for those who love to spin, there are inclusive gliders, spinning seats, and a ground-level carousel accessible to wheelchairs and other mobility devices. Parc Saint-Joseph truly has something for everyone. The park is open daily, from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm. So come and experience the magic of Parc Saint-Joseph. Discover a place where play knows no limits.
