The views of the river and city are spectacular from this large park. The grass is green, flowers of violets in bloom and plenty of space to relax and take a break from sightseeing.

We arrived with high expectations. We arrived approx. 6pm on a beautiful June day. All info venues are closed. No maps/guides available. Plaques, etc. are almost non-existent. We walked around and it's nice.. but "just a park" at that point. We drove around and found a very large venue which gave us a much better perspective. The Citadel is adjacent... More

I parked at the far end of the Plains, $6.00 for 12 hours. From there I walked over the Plains to the Promenade and eventually got down to the Chateau Frontenac and down Rue de la Montane to lower Quebec. I enjoyed the views from the citadel.

Wonderful example of large urban park with incredible views and so much space! Very well maintained and an area used for picnics, running, biking, laying in the sun, as well as musical groups/ concerts, and other such activities in the summer, and I understand, cross country skiing and snow shoeing in winter!

The walk along the grassy area was relaxing. Learning a bit of the history of the area was enlightening. Small crowds.

This was a nice place to see and read the history. I reached here after walking along the boardwalk from Le Chateau Frontenac. Rolling green hills nicely kept.

Hard to believe such a beautiful, green hilly location was once a battlefield. We spent the afternoon walking the Plains of Abraham. The path led us right to the old part of town, the board walk by the Chateau.

I knew the story. I'd seen the vicinity on various travel programs on television. Being there in person didn't really add that much for me. If I had to cut one thing out of our day in Quebec City, this would've been it.
