The '''Plains of Abraham''' ({{langx|fr|Plaines d'Abraham}}) is a historic area within [[the Battlefields Park]] in [[Quebec City, Quebec]], [[Canada]]. It was established on 17 March 1908. The land is the site of the [[Battle of the Plains of Abraham]], which took place on 13 September 1759, but hundreds of acres of the fields became used for [[grazing]], housing, and minor industrial structures.<ref>{{Cite book| last=Wood| first=William| publication-date=1911| contribution=Tercentennial Quebec| contribution-url=http://www.ourroots.ca/e/page.aspx?id=424718| editor-last=Doughty| editor-first=A.G.| editor2-last=Wood| editor2-first=William| title=The King's Book of Quebec| pages=137–138| publication-place=Ottawa| publisher=The Mortimer Co.

The park is today used by 4 million visitors and tourists annually for sports, relaxation, outdoor concerts, and festivals.
