Domaine de Maizerets is a lovely park, nature reserve and wetland on Boulevard Montmorency, less than 5 km from the centre of Quebec. It's well-used by locals and their families, but is not well-known by tourists. There are walking trails through the park, a maze, an interpretative centre, extensive gardens, woodlands and wetlands with an island. The historic house, Maison des Maizerets, offers toilets, equipment hire and rooms for educational and community use. Two bicycle paths pass by the park.
