Three children’s playgrounds.

Skating Trail
During the winter months, the Richelieu municipal park is transformed into a magnificent skating trail. The skating trail loops around the park. Strings of bright lights illuminate the park at night. The skating trail is used by the members of our community and surrounding area. Students from CSC La fontaine, whose location is just steps away from the park, take advantage of the skating trail as part of their physical education classes. Take advantage of this location for outdoor physical activity.
Arena Sportplex
Opened on November 29, 1991, the Neguac Sportplex Arena is used to serve the parish of Alnwick. The Sportplex, run by the Sportplex Corporation and its board members, oversees the programming of the activities and the smooth running of the arena. The sports played in this establishment are mainly ice hockey, figure skating and broomball. Also for those who like to stretch their legs, the arena offers hours of free skating. During the summer, the Sportplex is used for ball hockey and socio-cultural events. For more information, contact Norbert Ross, Manager, at 776-1820.
Culture
Centre of Acadian culture beside Native and Anglophone communities
Although it is located between the Esgenoôpetitj (Burnt Church) First Nation and the Anglophone community of Tabusintac, Neguac is an important center of Acadian and French culture. The 396-seat Théâtre Richard-Denys is an ultramodern multifunctional venue able to host not only local cultural productions but also performances from outside professional companies. It’s a comfortable setting for plays and concerts.
In 1988, Neguac was proclaimed the “Savoie Family Capital” to recognize one of its founding families. In commemoration of the event, the municipality inaugurated the Savoie Family Monument.
The Otho Robichaud historic site at 17 Otho Street was designated by the province of New Brunswick in 1994. On October 9, 2001, the Minister responsible for Culture and Sport Secretariat designated the site.
