Le parc du Portage, situé derrière la Maison du citoyen de Gatineau, a été aménagé de façon à créer un espace public plus convivial.

On y trouve désormais une fontaine qui sert régulièrement de patinoire l’hiver, ainsi que des tables de pique-nique et des bancs.

L’art y a également sa place alors, comme on peut le constater sur l’image actuelle des lieux, la sculpture blanche L’amour, de l’artiste Henry Wanton Jones, s’impose dans le paysage.

Du haut de ses 10 mètres, l’œuvre de fibre de verre et d’acier – qui pèse pas moins 6500 kg – représente différentes parties du corps humain.

Translated from the above noted text:

Portage Park, located behind Gatineau's Maison du citoyen, was designed to create a more convivial public space.

There is now a fountain that regularly serves as ice rink in winter, as well as picnic tables and benches.

Art also has its place so, as can be seen from the current image of the place, the white sculpture L'amour, by the artist Henry Wanton Jones, imposes itself on the landscape.

At a height of 10 meters, the fiberglass and steel work - which weighs no less than 6500 kg - represents different parts of the human body.
