Anjou: A Costco rather than a park
The city’s plan to convert an old golf course into an extension to Bois d’Anjou park has been thwarted, and instead Anjou is going to get a new Costco.

Well, and Bois d’Anjou was already such a great park. I went there once with our dogs because I had to drop someone off and Google really displayed it in large type. But there is no access to it. On one side it’s surrounded by the golf course and at the other side there’s a bunch of vague industrial buildings. I parked at the golf course and got immediately told that parking is for members only (this was on a morning Ain early spring, with still quite some snow on the ground. Not exactly golfing weather. So I drove around and couldn’t find another entrance so I parked on the street and then trespassed over the golf course anyway. I have to say it’s by far the most unimpressive city “nature” park there is. Rather tiny and there are no paths, you have to bushwhack your way into it.
At least a Costco has a parking lot, maybe the park will be easier accessible as well.

I’m disappointed. But it’s not really news. It’s been known since at least February 2020 (unofficially by Costco employees) that this would be the site of the new Costco. It was supposed to open in October 2020, but was delayed because COVID.
