History of the Park

Site of Major Battles

The Plains of Abraham are part of the Battlefields Park, site of the major battles of 1759 and 1760, which also includes Des Braves Park.

 

Apart from its historical past, the park is to Québec what Central Park and Hyde Park are to New York and London: a city park of outstanding value, the lungs of the city.
