Accessible park: Tony-Proudfoot

This park, designed with the active participation of the Pointe-Claire community, reflects the City’s commitment to universal accessibility and inclusion.

Tony-Proudfoot Park is an example of a public space designed to accommodate people with special needs. Located at the corner of Gendron and Des Frênes Aavenues, the park is an inclusive space designed to welcome the whole community. OpenedDedicated in 2020, it is one of the first parks on Montréal Island to offer a wide range of adapted facilities.

It includes an area for children aged 2 to 5 and a play module for 6- to 12-year-olds, equipped with an access ramp, a swing adapted for wheelchairs and a tactile roller slide compatible with hearing aids. 

Interactive sign language panels, a wheelchair- and stroller-accessible picnic area, and a climbing dome offering a calm indoor space for children in need of a break or living with sensory impairments, are also available. 

In addition, a universally accessible comfort station was installed in 2022 with two toilet stalls equipped with changing tables and sinks, as well as a water fountain. This was made possible with a grant funded in part by the Government of Canada through its Enabling Accessibility Fund.
