Parc-nature du Bois-de-Saraguay

The Bois-de-Saraguay Nature Park (French: Parc-nature du Bois-de-Saraguay) is a large nature park in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It has an area of about 97 hectares. It has about 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) of hiking trails. The park area had been closed since its acqu

isition by the City in the early 1980s and almost gave way to a real estate project in the late 1970s. The park was inaugurated as Bois-de-Saraguay Nature Park on 2 June 2016. The park is one of four parts of the Bois-de Saraguay heritage site. It is mainly made up of deciduous trees. Maple groves, ash groves, poplar groves, and oak groves constitute the forest. There are several large, century-old trees. In addition, the forest includes plants designated as vulnerable, vulnerable to harvesting, or likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable. On 7 December 2020, the City of Montreal announced a plan to create a green corridor between the park and Angrignon Park. It is to have a walking path, a bicycle link, and landscaping.
