Good quiet place to stay for the night.
Looks like the toilets have been removed for the winter.
No issues, not a quiet street but it did die down after 11p on a Thursday night. Tons of garbage from regulars parking for a few hours, no garbage cans at this time of year. Will stay again
Report Check-InWe had a quiet stay here. There was soccer training in the evening hence crowded, but only till 21:00.
Our Starlink was extremely slow here. I think it's because of the airport which is very close, there are a lot of aviation/priority users.
grand stationnement en roche adjacente a des terrains de soccer et piste cyclable. Toilette disponible mais mal entretenue. Nous étions 3 vr pour la nuit aucun problème
Report Check-InPOLICE THREW ME OUT AT 1:00 AM !!! Three police officers in three different vehicles lights shining said I could not park there overnight… I left immediately without mentioning that there was no signs saying I couldn’t stay. STAY AWAY!!!!!
Report Check-InLarge square gravel parking area adjacent to soccer fields to the left and right as you enter and a river/canal side park with paved trails directly in front of you. No signs prohibiting overnight parking. Business buildings across the street and a high school and somewhat upscale neighborhood in the vicinity. Corner to the left closest to the road has a row of tree to lower your visibility. It is also a bit darker there. Spot seems ok. There is a trash can a short distance down the paved path to the left. Road traffic didn’t settle down completely until 11:00 pm or so. Lots of bunny rabbits hopping around the area!
Report Check-InGreat little spot, quiet at night, had a few other overnighter neighbours, wasn't bothered. No outhouses tho.
Report Check-InOn a dû déménager à minuit, la police nous a dit que l’on ne pouvait être là après 23:00

Spent one night here, no problem.
Had a few "neighbours" but everyone was quiet and respectful.
No one bothered us.
Pretty quiet, had a very peaceful night.
Please keep this area clean and use the bin provided to dispose of your rubbish. As usual, disrespectful dog owners ruin it for the rest of us with unleashed dogs and not picking up after them. I could count over a dozen dog droppings on the floor!
Don't trash it or you'll loose the spot.
Very nice spot with access to park for walking the dog. Minus 20 last night but our heater worked like a charm.
Report Check-Inhuge parking lot. slept in our suv while visiting tge freedom convoy. it was -22°C overnight so we ran a generator hooked up to a space heater with no problems. a pickup truck with a travel trailer also spent the night. some dog walkers walked the nearby trails in the morning. Honk Honk
Report Check-Innice and quiet, gravel parking lot. Beside a cycling path and a nice little pond.
Report Check-Instayed here for a night and had the place to ourself! no signage prohibiting overnight parking. it was pretty quiet, and there's a spot where you can be covered by trees so you can't be seen from the road. garbage cans are available.
Report Check-InStayed here for 2 nights while waiting for appointments to fix our van. Great spot no one bothered us. There is soccer practice in the evenings and the lot fills up but we didn't mind.
