Municipal Parks and Green Spaces
Missisquoi North Park, André-Gagnon sector
The Missisquoi North Park, André-Gagnon Sector, is located at the northern entrance to the village of Mansonville. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, major improvements were made to the playgrounds and the park in general. The park now includes a multifunctional shelter (skating rink in winter), a service building, pétanque/bocce ball games, a children’s play module, a pumptrack, a dek hockey area, water games, soccer fields, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball hoops, a baseball field and walking trails along the river.
In addition, the municipality continues to be proactive in seeking sources of funding from all levels of government: a request for financial assistance from the federal government for the service building adjacent to the multifuncational shelter was accepted. The project involved enlarging the building to store park equipment and accommodate more users. The building was completed in June 2023.
In 2023, a new parking lot was also built adjacent to the shelter, including reserved spaces for people with reduced mobility.
The municipality inaugurated in November 2020 its multifunctional shelter, a centerpiece of the park. In 2021, major improvements will also be made to the playgrounds and the park in general.
