Botanical Park and Geological Garden

Discover this gem of nature located in the heart of downtown Rouyn-Noranda!  Created in 1989, the À fleur d’eau botanical park now features over 25,000 plants, trees and shrubs adapted to the climatic conditions of the region as well as a boardwalk surrounding Lake Edward. A geological garden is also located inside the park, providing information on the geology and mining development of the region.

To mark Rouyn-Noranda’s 100th anniversary, the heart of the park was redeveloped. A bronze sculpture by artist Rose-Aimée Bélanger, donated to the City by the Regroupement d’aide aux aînés de Rouyn-Noranda, was installed as part of the project. Surrounded by the park’s new landscaping, the artwork pays tribute to the generations who helped build Rouyn-Noranda and highlights the importance of human connections, the passing on of knowledge and traditions, and collective memory.

Wheelchair-accessible trails, a boardwalk encircling Lac Édouard, picnic areas, bocce courts, a baseball diamond and a playground are also available.

Free admission to the park at all times.
