Jacques Cartier Park

Jacques Cartier Park is a large park along the shore of the Ottawa River here in Gatineau, to the east side of the Alexandra Bridge. At this entrance into the park, a statue is found. Maurice "Rocket" Richard was a legend in Quebec, one of the greatest hockey players in NHL history and a mainstay of the Montreal Canadiens for eighteen years. 


Around this entrance, tulips could be found.


I headed to the main beds close by. They are sprawling and colourful.
