    This is hands-down, one of the BEST city parks I've been to. In terms of the sheer scope of…read moreactivities and expansive trails in the middle of a city, Mount Royal Park is a true marvel. The ascent to the top can be taxing if you take the pathway that includes the stairs. I would recommend taking one of the trails up to pace yourself and enjoy the journey to the scenic views. The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the legendary Landscape Architect who also designed New York's Central Park, and the grounds for Stanford...the impressive list goes on. You really get the impression that this park was thoughtfully designed and planned to harmonize with the native species of plants. There are two Belvederes where you can view the city. We ventured up to Kondiaronk Belvedere and were treated to sweeping views of the city. If you are looking for a postcard-perfect view of Montreal, this is it! Mount Royal Park is a must-do and was definitely one of the highlights of our Canadian trip. Don't miss this park, it's immersive qualities are outstanding and your are rewarded with incredible views if you persevere to the top!

    Warning: Be Prepared for Pain for Up to 5 Days Afterwards…read more The park was lovely with lovely rolling hills and picnic areas, and I could see the fish in the ponds at the edges. There were paved paths up the hill to the top of the park. It was a lot of hilly inclines but there were a few benches along the way. At the top at the chalet, there is a nice view of Montreal over the trees. There is a large building up the stairs where you can go down the stairs to the bathrooms. We took the stairs all the way down to McGill University and down more hills to our hotel farther in the city. Chatgpt said there is between 339 to 525 steps depending on how you come out. I was totally amazed as you turn the corner, how many other flights of steps there were. There is no way, I would have made it up the stairs. The wooden stairs were of the same color, no color stripe marking the edges, so for someone with progressive glasses, it made it hard to see where each step ended to go to the next one. I looked more to the edges to see the outline to know. I would have really have hated taking the stairs in the dusk when it was darker or overcast. When we sightsee, I can walk 20,000 - 25,000 steps a day; however with that number of stairs then all the hills from McGill University down to our hotel, my legs felt it that night. The next day, my calves were badly cramping and knotted up for several days afterwards, so I am glad we visited at the end of our trip, not at the beginning. It took 5 days before I could walk without pain. If you decide to go, make sure you do it at the end of your trip or your calves and legs are really stretched out and strong.

I am just amazed at all the fantastic parks scattered throughout the city…read more This one has a huge open green space and various playgrounds including a small baseball field, dog park, jungle gyms, swings, and splash park that looks so enticing on this summer day. There is also a lovely war memorial for those who died fighting in both World Wars and the Korean War. Doesn't hurt to squeeze in a history lesson for the kids...or adults for that matter.

Park or just plain and simple GIROUARD PARC is just about the best park in the neighbourhood. Call it what you will because wise people call this place by many names and call it what you want because you have free human agency. Yes, indeed, denizens of the good hood of Lady Grace, sometimes we may be No Dame Good but we sure do know damn well how to chillax on a beautiful Montreal day. Yes, citizens of the Deeg, small and large, young and old, squirrel and human, all seek refuge in this park to congregate (whilst respecting the public health and safety protocols to reduce the transmission of COVID-19) and have an excellent time. Yes, the who's who of NDG chill at this park; you've got Rebecca Anne Clark feeding the squirrels sunflower seeds whilst sitting under her favourite Maple tree with her stylish lawn chair, you've got Sarah Ring and Aurora Robinson organising the next NDG Portchfest, you've got Christopher Brown speaking truth to power, you've got elected officials like NDG borough councillor Peter McQueen riding his bike and talking to constituents, you've got the guy who does an improvised yoga/parkour hybrid, you've got the dude who practices his LARPing with a gigantic and extremely heavy wooden sword, you've got the skateboarders filming their skate videos, you've got the dude playing the bagpipes, you've got the couple low-key having sex on the grass in broad daylight, you've got the dog walkers in the dog park, and you've got many other people to people watch. There are lots of amenities in the park and in the vicinity. Yes, this park has got it all and that's not even the beginning of it. Please get a whole grain baguette or pita, some houmous, some vege pâté, some ferments and pickles, and some delicious fruit. Bring a little rose kombucha. Have a little picnic and in the words of KC and the Sunshine Band, "do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight."

    So this park is yet another extension on the whole LaSalle BLVD bike path. My goal is to eventually…read morefigure out the 'boundaries' of where each park ends and the next starts. This one starts at the boundary of Parc des Rapides at the LaSallel/Verdun border. Several nice spots to pop a squat down by the water. Bring a picnic blanket and enjoy! There's a look out point too, a deck overlooking the river. It's been fairly busy each time we've passed so we haven't stopped to enjoy it yet. Our dog likes it over here too, safe to be here being it's technically Verdun so she's not prohibited lol. Lots of other dogs too, enjoying the nice walk with their owners. **...We think we saw a tick today tho, crawling across our picnic blanket after Irie traipsed through the dead-long grass, so beware! Next time we're bringing the tick-kit just in case but Irie didn't get bit today...**

I'd say there are three parts to the park. First there's the green space between Lasalle Boulevard and the bike paths. This is where you have a small playground for kids, water fountains, soccer field, the Natatorium (the first public outdoor swimming pool in Canada), the greenhouse, a beach volleyball sandlot, and lots and lots of open green, grassy space interspersed with trees and bushes, which on hot summer days is taken up with families doing BBQs, couples picnicking, people on blankets napping, reading books, doing work on their devices, playing frisbee etc. Second, there is the bike path which runs along the riverside and now a gravel path specifically for pedestrians right alongside the bike path since traffic on the bike path is so busy now with bikers, roller-bladers and runners. Third, there is a hiking trail, below the bike path right along the river's edge and this is my favorite part. It's full of trees, bushes, wild grass and it not manicured at all and runs a little wild in some places. This is where, if you happen to be at the right time and right place, you'll see ducks, Canada geese, owls, muskrats, blue herons, Arctic terns, turtles, grass snakes, a beaver or two, raccoons, foxes, pike jumping out of the water (I've seen all of them), and on occasion, like this past winter, a bald-head eagle and seal which a local photographer caught on camera. There's also rapids and on clear days, you can see right over to Mont St.Gregoire, Mont St.Bruno and Mont St. Hilaire in the distance. There are also some great quiet spots where you can easily sit down among the large boulders and small grassy knolls and just take in the scenery, meditate and do whatever. While the rest of Montreal obsesses over "The Mountain" and crowded Mont-Royal park, I say let them be and come down to "The River" instead.

It is also probably the narrowest of the parks. I'd say the best parts of this park at the wharves which are great for star-gazing during summer nights. During the day, they are full of swimmers, fishers and pot-heads who seem to be drinking beer all day long. The hiking trail is also pretty fun too esp. for spotting turtles, snakes, Canadian geese, and muskrats.

We sat right next to the water but it appears we sat right in the middle of a walking path as we unfortunately realized by the time the 3rd set of pedestrians n pooches came by. This park seems like it might have some good spots to cast out n fish from, however I didn't catch a glimpse of any signs that either authorized or prohibited fishing in the park, will try n take a better look around next time. Plenty of picnic tables and benches and big open grassy spots to set up a picnic up the hill from the water though. Would be willing to check it some more but not my favorite spot so far.
