Information Spectators: Volunteers:
In the heart of Québec, The site of many clashes for supremacy between the French and British Empires, the park is the scene of the 1759 Conquest, which changed the fate of North America. Apart from its historical past, the park is to Québec what Central Park and Hyde Park are to New York and London: a city park of outstanding value, the lungs of the city. One hundred and eight hectares of meadow and grassy knolls, decked with flowers or covered with snow, are there for residents and visitors to enjoy. On March 17, 1908, the law creating the National Battlefields Commission
(NBC) was sanctioned to highlight and preserve this site, unique in the
world by its sheer size, its geographic location, its historical role
and its beauty. The Battlefields Park, which groups together the Plains
of Abraham and the Des Braves Park, was developed to honour the memory
of both French and British combatants.
