    Park Rene Levesque by the water.
    Jonathan L.

    A really nice park to walk through with a gorgeous view of the water. One of the more scenic parks around Montreal at the tip of the Lachine Canal.

    HIDDEN MONTREAL PARK GEM and next to Mont-Royal our favorite number 2 park for walking, skating, runninh or biking. Park shoots out on a peninsula with water on both sides and one of the largest outdoor sculpture exhibits in canada and beautifully kept large green lawn areas and waterside recliners and benches. Park is not huge but it is a great peaceful, breezy and well maintained setting for a nice walk and picnic and a great bench seating area at the end of the peninsula with the cool water breezes and water all around. At the beginning of the park on right side you will find a sign with map and list of the 30 outdoor sculptures and their artists. Before you read the artists background and description try to get the group to determine what they thought the artist inspiration or influences were in making these sculptures. There is also a great cafe bistro with lots of seating area and terrace at the start of the park. A must stop for all: locals and visitors

    Found myself somewhere that I've never biked before‍

    Please don't hate me because I'm from Montreal, live downtown, am an avid biker and never knew about this Park. I discovered it today and what a Gem this is. It's what we call a Peninsula in Lachine. On one side we see all the boats and on the other the horizon. I fumbled on to this riding through Verdun to Lasalle to Lachine. It's a small stretch through the park about 300m but it's full of families playing, outdoor beautiful sculptures or benches to sit on and just take a deep breath and look out in the yonder..... What a great day it was!

    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.

And I felt it needed a poem. We really like this park to fish and relax at and it has several "spots" we like to try and "get". It's a fairly busy/popular park, but usually we still manage to get 1 of our 3 fave spots. Unfortunately there are some socially inept morons who frequent this park as well, so despite getting a good "spot", some a$$hole may still decide it's ok to come fish 5 feet next to you thereby cutting you off on your spot... Unfortunately the only way to deal with these people is to flat out tell them they are being stupid and to please go away because otherwise they will snag your line and make things worst. Please don't be like these nitwits: if you see someone in a spot: give them a good fishing zone and find somewhere else, it's only polite and neighborly. Bonus points: they added outhouse bathrooms, which means I can stay fishing longer and don't hafta leave to go home to the bathroom. Also every Tuesday and Thursday they do actvitities in this park. Thursdays consist of setting up a whole stage with live performances by the water: last Thursday's Creole music was absolutely perfect while we fished to our heart's delight!
