Parc de la Cité
Park de la Cité is a small urban park with two connected, artificial lakes. The park is located within the Southern residential areas of Longueuil.
How to Get Here
The park is connected with bike routes at North and South and therefore easy accessible by bike if you live in the area. I am not aware of any public transportation to the park.

What to See Here
With the artificial lakes, the park attracts different, more common waterfowl. There are small patches of natural forest around the park, providing a hideout for birds. The urban character of the park though limit the diversity.
