Parks and recreation

Parc-du-Lac Courcouronnes is a relatively large park with a walking trail and a small lake. It is home to the famous "Dame du Lac" climbing wall constructed by architect Pierre Szekely in 1975. The wall has been closed to the public for the entirety of the 21st century; however, trespassers continue to use it regularly.
