## Mapped Amenity Inventory

OpenStreetMap data identifies four distinct amenity points within the boundaries of Lac-à-la-Tortue. The dataset categorizes these locations into three groups based on their primary function. One point is classified as a school serving the local population. Another point is designated as a park providing open space for residents.

Two additional points are categorized under the recreation category in the mapping system. These entries represent facilities intended for leisure or physical activity within the neighbourhood. The source data does not provide specific proper names for any of these four locations. Consequently, the exact identity and operational status of each facility remain unspecified in the record.

## City market context

From the Shawinigan market article, 22 September 2026:

Shawinigan recorded 479 housing starts in 2025, nearly double the 241 started in 2024, with 81% of the new construction focused on apartment and other multi-unit homes. This surge in multi-unit starts signals a significant shift in the local supply pipeline toward rental product, even as national financing pressures continue to weigh on broader affordability. Shawinigan's 2025 housing starts surged to 479 units, a 98.8% increase from 241 in 2024, with 81% of those starts being apartment and other multi-unit homes. This indicates a sharp shift toward rental-oriented supply in the local construction pipeline, which may influence future rental availability but does not directly measure current owner-occupied price dynamics.
