Lovely to see such a vast, peaceful area of green next to a city centre. Great views over the river and city. Various sites dotted around as we walked from one to the other. Exited behind the Beaux-Arts Museum.

The Plains Of Abraham is an important historical area. This is a battlefields park, quite large in size. Its history goes a long way back to the early days of Canada's beginnings. There are museums and many activities that take place here. It is definitely worth visiting and learning so much about the country's French and British past.

We entered the park near the Saint Louis Gate and walked uphill. On this side of the park there was the Citadelle, views of St Laurence River and La Promenade des Governors (pathway that will take one back to the Dufferin Terrace). From our vantage point we found a marker about Abraham Martin who let his livestock graze here back in the 1600s. Considering the major battles fought here by the French and British it was refreshing that official records used him versus a military designation. The park extended a lot further and would be a nice place to take extended walks or picnic when the weather warmed up.

Came in through the Plaines during a private tour. There is lots of history here which is very interesting. Definately worth dropping by and walking around knowing what took place hundreds of years ago. The park also offers nice views of St Laurence River.

The Bus tour starts at the Plains of Abraham Museum. If you just walk around the park you will just see trees, some old fortifications, grass and a few cannon. Take the tour and learn the history of the place. We found it very interesting and well worth the time and money.

Plains of Abraham must be the most varied park in all of Canada. There’s something for everyone, and you could wander around for hours without seeing it all. Beautiful flower beds, imposing cannons and war history, a great museum, excellent running trails, concert venues—and I’m sure I’ve forgotten half of it. If you have an hour to spare, come and enjoy the park’s many facets.

We did an unguided tour of plains of Abraham. We did research prior to visiting to know the history and significance of this park prior to arrival. The park itself is very well maintained and quite relaxing despite being in the city. It’s surprisingly quiet and relaxing walk with nice walking paths. There is plenty of sitting areas to sit and relax and people watch or view the Saint Lawrence river. There is also multiple spots to read and learn about significant areas and monuments. For a relaxing and at your own pace tour it is worth the hour or so to see the pretty park.

Québec City’s largest urban park—and the site of the famous Battle of the Plains of Abraham—is just across the street. Outside the city walls, to the west of the Citadel, stretches the green expanse known as the Plains of Abraham [also known as Battlefields Park (Parc des Champs-de-Bataille)], where in 1759 the British, led by General Wolfe, fought the French under Montcalm and won. The Battle of Québec (the pivotal moment of the French and Indian War when the French were forced to cede New France to Great Britain) took place here. The park is also home to the remains of two Martello towers, later additions to Québec's fortifications. Begun in the late 1930s, the Joan of Arc Garden designed by Louis Perron has a fabulous display of flowers from spring until fall. it is the perfect place to enjoy some fresh air. While you're sure to see a few historical elements (like the occasional ornamental cannon and defensive towers known as Martello Tower), make sure to pay specific attention to the manicured gardens – don't miss the stunning Joan of Arc Garden – and the riverfront vistas. It’s lovely to see this field on cloudy days. benches are there near Martello Towers, have a seat and admire the beauty of St Lawerence River Battlefields Park is an outdoor recreational site, right in the heart of the city! In the winter, you can go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing along the groomed trails or go skating on the ice ring. In the summer, the park becomes a popular picnic area.
