When we asked people living in Canada about recreational activities, they mentioned...

"In Canada, residents enjoy a variety of recreational facilities, such as parks, beaches, trails, and sports fields. Parks often feature playgrounds, picnic areas, and outdoor fitness equipment. Beaches provide a great place to swim, sunbathe, and take part in water sports. Trails are popular for walking, running, and biking, and many offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Sports fields are available for a variety of activities, such as soccer, baseball, and tennis. In addition, many cities and towns have public pools, skating rinks, and community centres that offer a variety of recreational activities," said another expat in Canada.

" Paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, boating and other water activities are popular on the St. Lawrence River and many local lakes. Baie de Beauport is a beach is nearby Beauport that has summer day camps, food trucks, yoga and more. There are several golf courses located within a half hour of Quebec City. Tennis players can play at Tennis Montcalm (tennis & squash), Tennis Victoria and several other tennis clubs. Quebec Yacht Club is located at 1225 Boulevard Champlain and offers a few membership options, summer camps, a pool and a restaurant. There are a number of public pools in Quebec City. Indoor pools include Piscine Lucien Borne, Ferland Community Center, Piscine Wilfrid-Hamel. Outdoor pools include Piscine Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, Piscine du parc du Musee and Marina Saint-Roch.

Au 1884 is a toboggan slide situated on the Dufferin Terrace next to the Chateau Frontenac that is open all winter.
