(Updated July 2020)
These are in no particular order, and I reserve the right to change my mind at any time!
There are lots of parks that we like, but these ones stick out for us.
*This started as a Top Ten and I couldn’t stop!
parc Multisports in Saint-Jérôme, Québec
It’s brand new, it’s totally unique, and it’s the ultimate destination park.
If you like parks that are totally different from the norm, this is the park for you. Parkour, trampolines, splash pad…It’s amazing.
There are a ton of pictures in the photo gallery, you should look at them all!

We loved this park because of its amazing splash pad, and then they went in and added a new playground and outdoor fitness equipment! Awesome.
