For amenities that’ll entertain the whole family

The Parc Jean-Drapeau Aquatic Complex is known as a training site for competitive swimmers and divers, but it’s also a perfect spot to cool down on a sultry summer weekend. The complex’s extra-large recreational pool includes a floating obstacle course for kids, water polo clinics and lots of room to swim and chill out. At certain hours, the diving pool is open to the general public too.
