Flanking the Rivière des Prairies, Pierrefonds-Roxboro is a primarily residential neighbourhood known for its beautiful landscapes. This quiet part of Montreal appeals to those who want to live in town but removed from the hustle and bustle of the downtown core.
The Cap-St-Jacques nature park is a favourite haunt of Montrealers in both summer and winter. Located at the junction of Lake of Two Mountains and Rivière des Prairies, this massive park has miles of trails for winter sports and a beach that offers a welcome respite from the summer heat.
And as if that weren’t enough, local residents also have the Bois-de-Liesse nature park, with its 100-year-old trees and diverse fauna, as well as the l’Anse-à-l’Orme nature park, a favourite of windsurfers.
Services include two libraries and several neighbourhood pools.
