7 In the Boroughs Borough of Mont-Bellevue LE REGROUPEMENT DU PARC DU MONT BELLEVUE The Parc du Mont-Bellevue is the city s largest park and the one that offers the most activities. Three entrances Antonio-Pinard chalet (1440, rue Brébeuf) Parking lot on rue Dunant (corner of Thibault) Université de Sherbrooke Downhill skiing The most popular winter activity! See the Sports and Recreation Downhill Skiing and Snowboarding section, pages 42 and 43. Cross-country skiing New Dunant A.-Pinard section: The newly acquired land on the east side, next to rue Dunant, allowed for the development of a less steep slope, from the Dunant parking lot towards the A.-Pinard chalet. Skiers can completely circle the park a 6-km trail! Improved trail maintenance: The purchase of a snow groomer such as the one used at Mount Orford will soften the snow and create tracks. Walkers are directed to different trails, allowing for better conditions for each group. Walking (please consult the trail map posted at the entrances): Certain sections of the trail that surround the mountain are reserved exclusively for skiers. In the centre of the park, the trails on Mont J.S.-Bourque are reserved exclusively for walkers; these more natural trails are maintained to make walking easier. Snowshoeing Snowshoers do not appreciate trails that have been packed by walkers and skiers. An area west of the downhill skiing area, used for mountain biking in summer, has been exclusively reserved for snowshoeing. Travelling in protected areas, even in snowshoes, can be catastrophic.
