The City of Boisbriand has completed a major upgrade to its recreational infrastructure with the full replacement of the synthetic turf at the Parc Régional soccer fields. After 15 years of heavy use, the aging surface reached the end of its lifecycle and was replaced in May 2025 as part of a $750,000 investment under the city’s three-year capital works program.
“This complete replacement was essential to maintaining the quality and safety of our sports facilities,” said Mayor Christine Beaudette. “We are committed to offering all users a secure environment for athletic activities. The municipal council and I extend our sincere thanks to the Public Works team—specifically the Parks and Green Spaces division—for their dedication and efficiency throughout this project.”
The initiative not only enhances playability and safety for local athletes but also reflects Boisbriand’s long-term commitment to sustainability. The materials used in the new surface, including rubber granules made from approximately 30,000 recycled tires, were selected with the environment in mind. These components can be reused for up to two or three additional field replacements, significantly reducing the environmental footprint of future upgrades.
This refurbishment project is one of the key actions outlined in Boisbriand’s Parks and Green Spaces Master Plan for 2025–2035, which is available for consultation online at boisbriand.ca and in print at the municipal library.
