(2) Continue straight ahead along the quays. When you reach Île des Loisirs, go under the first bridge and turn left to go back up Île des Loisirs and cross the bridge (under the "Île des Loisirs" arch).

(3) Keep left to head towards Plage Richelieu (pedestrian signs will help you). Continue straight ahead, cross a bridge, then keep going straight until you can't go any further. Then turn right and cross the second bridge to reach Plage Richelieu.

(5) Turn left and head towards the pond. Turn left again and walk over the small pond, where facilities have been installed for picnics, children's play areas and sports.
