Beautification works were initiated in the park in 1990: a new pathway leads visitors to a lookout above the upper pool, while a second lookout, where the works of Michel Goulet can be observed, dominates the lower pond in the axis of Roy Street.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the new arena was held on September 3, 2012, attended by Quebecor Chairman Pierre-Karl Péladeau, then-Premier of Quebec Jean Charest, and former Quebec Nordiques players Michel Goulet, Peter Stastny and Alain Côté.
Works include Dennis Oppenheim’s “Engagement Rings” (USA), Jaume Plensa's “We” (Spain), Magdalena Abakanowicz’s “Walking Figures” (Poland) from the City of San Diego, Michel Goulet’s “Echoes” (Canada) Sorel Etrog’s “King and Queen” (Canada), John Clement’s “Jasper” (USA) and Bernar Venet’s “217.5 Arcs x 13” (France).
