A large urban arboretum and park in Québec City with wooded trails, a hedge maze, a duck pond and splash pads, popular for walks, runs and family outings.
What visitors say
Domaine de Maizerets is a historic green space in Québec City, and reviewers describe it as one of the best parks in the city for a quiet walk. Rolling lawns, tree-lined paths, native flowers, streams and a small pond near the Montmorency River set the scene, with plenty of shade on hot days.
Families spend hours here. Kids head for the hedge maze, splash pads, play structures and the ducks on the pond, and there are water fountains and washrooms. Runners and dog walkers use the trails year-round, and early risers mention squirrels, ducks and birdwatching. Summer weekends often bring events.
This is a city park and arboretum rather than a hunting or fishing spot, and it suits anyone after a relaxing stroll. Fall colour gets special mention.
A few visitors were let down by worn, hard-to-read plant labels, and a recent one found the maze overgrown. Paths can be icy or muddy in early spring, the lot can fill up on busy days, and some walkers were bothered by cyclists riding where they aren't allowed.
