The family enjoyed hanging here after hitting up the Jean Talon Farmers Market. While plenty of people take advantage of this lush park, there's plenty of space. It's definitely relaxing, clean, well-kept and worth the visit. There were so many ecletic gatherings in the park making for some awesome people watching too.

Walking around Little Italy, we decided to check out this large park…read more Parc Jarry is known for its world-class tennis stadium. But the park is also an ideal place for outdoor walks and family activities. Winter or Summer, anyone can take advantage of the park's facilities like walking trails, swimming pool, sports fields, picnic areas, cross-country ski trails, sliding hill, recreational skating rink on the pond, and two hockey rinks. We saw the baseball field, soccer field, basketball field, tennis courts, volleyball courts, pool, trails and even the Bocci ball area. Just a lot of things for those who enjoy an active life....

Sigh I love this park so much, for so many reasons. The beach here can get crowded in the summer,…read morebut the whole space is worth exploring. I've actually helped to throw a gorgeous wedding here in the heritage buildings a number of years ago, it was challenging but so memorable and I'd highly recommend it if you're willing to do the work and deal with the constraints of the space (when they reopen). But winter here is my favourite. We love to come here cross-country skiing as a family, being on these huge trails and wild edges of the island. It's always breezy here in the summer, even hot days are soothing, the waves are wild and you just feel a release from the heaviness of the city. All the more appreciated during these crazy times.

This park has parking right across the street. It's beautiful all year long. I discover that it's…read morenot only beautiful in the summer to take a walk and relax by the water but a place to enjoy pain! Yes this park has some great Obstacles (adults only!). I've been training my first year for spartan races and discovered a lot of groups use this park for some serious workouts. They take place all season long! Yes u will find us in short mid winter. Get ur tack shoes on and go try it out.. please make sure you don't try the the obstacles alone.. they can be dangerous.

I biked from The Old Port to the Atwater Market and I had a great time!…read more The route is very scenic even beautiful at times. There's plenty of path to visit, almost 15 KMs worth of it and its of good quality. The route is urban but surrounded by trees and buildings that went the extra length to be visually appeasing. Very cultural activity if you want to explore Montreal. Most of the terrain is flat with some hills, nothing too difficult. Several maps to check where you're located and a lot of stops to enjoy your time, take a breath and so forth. You can walk it, jog it, run it. I went with the healthy activity of renting a bike for a few hours. Grabbed food from Atwater market and had a picnic. What a wonderful place and worth for activity visitors from out of town to visit and locals willing to explore their city.

Fun fact about me, I didn't learn to ride a bike properly until I was in my 20s, and only then did I finally get out to really explore some of the incredible bike paths in our city, which have only been getting more and more exceptional in recent years. One awesome ride is to connect the big downtown parks, looping around from the mountain, laurier, la fontaine and then our here to Maisonneuve. Maisonneuve is realllllllly fun to bike, it's a great big green expanse with gorgeous paths, you really feel simultaneously so free and quite protected from cars and things - perfect if you're still gaining comfort as a biker. You can get up close and personal with that weird icon of architecture, the Big O, and there's stadiums tucked near by where you can watch some of the best Roller Derby bouts (when they reopen, le sigh!) If you're out enjoying the parks, just maintain that 2 meter safety zone and bring your mask and we can all help each other feel a little more safe in these bonkers times.

This is one of my favourite spots in the greater Montreal area. What a treasure! On a nice Fall,…read moreSpring, or Summer day... it is paradise. I live in Pointe-Saint-Charles and love waking up early (6am) to bike along the Canal Lachine until I reach this destination. For me, the best feeling is arriving in the empty park and joining the birds as they do their morning chirping thing. What a privilege!! I always stop at the West-most point of the park to sit on a park bench, eat a banana, and watch the waters of the Saint Lawrence River. On a calm, quiet, and clear morning this is perfection. I usually take the opportunity to think about something while I do this and then often feel the need to get back on the move after 10-15 minutes (so I'm still waiting for my epiphany of thought during these sessions). Anyway, my real point is this: Parc Rene-Levesque is a wonderful investment of time into happiness. A little time (10-15 minutes) really helps me win my day. I am so grateful that we all have access to this precious public resource. To give a sense of proportion: Lachine is on of the very few areas outside of my beloved Pointe-Saint-Charles neighbourhood that I've thought of moving to. This park is a main driver of this consideration.

The kid loved it. The whole play area is so great and innovating! There is free and very accessible parking. Park Charbonneau is going to be a family favorite. Lots of place to play games, soccer and volleyball areas. Even a small mountain during winter! There's the option to have a picnic too! You can also go near the water and feed the ducks!

The "Centre de la Nature" is Laval's park. It's HUGE! Here's a rundown :…read more Pros : - If you have kids, this is a great place to bring them to. There are so many things they can do and it can make for a great family outing. - There's a free animal farm with lots of animals to see such as goats, horses, cows, chickens, roosters, pigs, ponies, mules and so forth. They look like they are taken care of well enough and kids and adult both like to see them. - There's a casse-croute/fast-food joint near the lake. They serve a variety of fast food items such as hot dogs, hamburgers, pogos, fries and so forth. Their menu also has a few more things that clearly caters to kids as well as unprepared parents. :) - Lake has lots of activities. During the summer, canoes can be rented, during the winter you can go skating on the lake. - Plenty of places to plop down onto the grass and have a family picnic. - Lots of trails to be enjoyed and some parts are particularly enjoyable. There's a reason why this place is well known for wedding photos and seeing more than your fair share of brides and grooms walking around. - Huge play park for kids in front of the Farm. Lots of kids here and it can be pretty chaotic... but that's how kids like it, right? :) Cons : - If you're not so much into kids, you may want to avoid some areas during the weekends, there are really A LOT of kids. Some areas may be quiet enough to be enjoyed however if you look well enough. - While their casse-croute/fast food joint has nothing that truly stands out, kindly note the wait time is pretty bad. 20+ minutes to prepare me a couple of hot dogs, pogos and fries? Sup? - Parking is 7$. While contributing to the park is nice and all, it's a bit expensive. So, if you're able to park somewhere nearby freely on the residential streets and bring your stuff to the park, you'll save a bit. You are planning to do a lot of walking anyways, right? What's 10 minutes more going to do?
