Trail description
A park with real history
This isn't just a green space; it's also a place with a significant past. Parc du Bois-de-Coulonge was once the residence of Quebec's Lieutenant Governors until the Spencer Wood villa burned down in 1966. As you explore, you can still see remnants of that era, including preserved buildings and garden designs that reflect the site's formal, historic roots.
That mix of history and nature is part of what makes the park feel different from a typical urban trail. One moment you're in a serene wooded section, and the next you're noticing the layout and structures that hint at how the property was once used and cared for over decades.
