Le Prévost Park has been reimagined as a living landscape where water shapes the experience, serving both as ecological infrastructure and as a poetic thread along the walkways. Designed to address increasingly intense rainfall, it incorporates storm gardens, flowering ditches, and visible systems that manage water while enriching the living environment. A true ecological mosaic, the park restores more than half of its area to natural habitats that promote biodiversity, well-being, and climate resilience. Evolving, inclusive, and safe, it offers a variety of uses and atmospheres throughout the seasons, making the park a place for meeting, nature, and culture at the heart of the city.
