Terra-Cotta Natural Park is a natural green space of 39 hectares in the heart of Pointe-Claire. Preservation of this park has been of the outmost importance. Furrowed by 6 km of PATHS, it allows visitors to observe a diversity of vegetation and animal species. Altogether, this parkis of great ecological value.  An article collection on the natural aspects of the park is available at the parks and horticultural division.








Terra-Cotta Natural Park provides a pleasurable area for walking, nature observation and bird watching.

From 1912 to 1962, a portion of the clay deposit on site was exploited by the Montreal Terra Cotta and Lumber Co. Clay, mixed with sawdust, was baked on site to produce tiles used for the construction of walls and floors.

Since 1971, a citizens' association, The Terra-Cotta Conservation Area Project (Pointe-Claire) Inc., has greatly contributed to the preservation of this natural site.
