Cheval Blanc Rapids
"Hikers in search of natural vistas in the vicinity of Cheval Blanc Rapids bordering Rivière des Prairies will delight in the area's numerous wetlands and superb wooded shorelines."
The city never cleaned the land up and doesn't disclose the sewer system going through the park.
Reportedly the land was bought in 2003 after years of dispute. This 2003 owner built on half of the nature parks land.
By "clean the land up" I mean pick up the heavy trash left behind by previous owners.
There is at least two cars rotting there.
I believe but do not have the money to hire a lab report, that there is oil being released from the junk and trash.
You can see oil slicks on the water in the swamp area. I presume it came from the cars? How much oil is in a car engine?
Besides car, car frame and engines laying about , I know of eight (8) car rubber truck tires located in various parts of the park. (UpdateNov 25,2009: I know of TEN tires now)
Very scenic. NOT
Six car tire pile I made.( I later took the car tires out myself)
First car
End of first car (four photos).( a significant portion of the car was brought to the property line. Engine block and some frame remain 2016)
garbage along the trail with scale of my foot.
garbage along the trail.
These large bags of packaged compost are in the middle of the park. I wonder who put them there, and how they got there? Whoever was doing a cover up, got lazy and didn't remove the wrapper.
Second car near wetlands. (I later took it out)
Second car near wetlands. ( I cut it into smaller pieces and took it out)
A bed or futon? I don't know. In the woods section, on the west side of the train tracks.(Parc des Arbres) UPDATE: I took the metal in the above photo out of the woods in the fall of 2013.
Minor garbage of stolen telephone boxes. UPDATE took them out in 2013
Abandoned tree fort. I approve of kids building forts in the woods. All kids should do this. Someone just has clean up when they abandon it, or it falls down. Maybe check it for dangerousness like nails to step on, or sharp wood that could impale someone.

Major Garbage in Parc des Arbres next to Parc Cheval Blanc Rapids,west side of the train tracks, near the houses.
Construction garbage A LOT. Too much to do by hand and bag. Plastic, wires junk.

This was recent and intentional, so it really got me angry. Some bastard didn't want to spend $50.00 and the trip to a dump to properly get rid of this garbage. $300.00 fine? That's too low a fine to scare someone. Should be a $5000.00 fine. Has the legal fine of dumping been cost indexed since its inception date (1960's?)?
