As we were walking around, we noticed this nice park. It has really two main sections, a dog park…read moresection and a children's playground section. Dogs are welcome to join their owners at Percy Walters Park. They can run around off-leash in this fenced-in grassy space. The dog park section is fenced in nicely. There are plenty of benches that allow human visitors to relax and keep an eye on their pets while they have fun and socialize. Water is available in the summer for both humans and their four legged pals. In the lower section there is a playground for children. Nicely kept. The park is always open and there are other trails to explore with your dog on a leash, too.

Yes this is a big park with lots of space to let your dogs run around. However this dog park needs…read moreto be better organized or regulated. Dog owners come and leave their dogs to run around without any oversight. We saw 15-20 dogs running around and only 5-6 people in the park. There needs to be a small dog sectioned off area. Our small puppy got attacked by an aggressive German Shepard who kept trampling on him and biting him. Thank god I was right near my pup and was able to wrestle him away after a few minutes. When we yelled whose german Shepard this was, No one would claim him. Someone told us it belongs to an old guy but he was nowhere in the park. Long story short- big park but beware of irresponsible dog owners with aggressive dogs because it is an off leash park.

Great spot ! Of course loads of animals and a great spot to bring the dogs ! I love this spot now…read morethat I'm In Lasalle more

Let me start this one off by saying VerdunLOV for SURE! But…read moreas far as Verdun goes, this park: ça fait dur! I'm not one of those ppl that sees this 'hood as a ghetto I love the shops, the people and the spots that make it special But this park is just disgusting and sad It's all that is wrong with Verdun, it's that bad The water is lined with garbage and beer cans With a strong foul odour that we just couldn't stand It's the type of place that would make any nature-lover weep So much potential but lacking much needed upkeep. ------------- Installment 25 poetry reviews This park was such a disappointment. We discovered it on another bike ride down the river. I suppose the main park is a simple open grassy spot good for a picnic or family gathering it's bordered by trees near the bike/pedestrian paths and there are a few spots to head down to the water edge... ...But your view is the Champlain bridge and all the construction blended with so much garbage even the several pieces we did pick up (for sake of trying to respect nature) didn't make a difference in how gross it was here. Skipping this place from now on. It's a shame, the trees are beautiful over the water. Ppl, seriously: RESPECT nature: clean up ur SH*T!

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."

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...**

A park which pretty much straddles the southern-most shoreline of the island of Montreal, along the…read moreeastern parts of Lasalle from Parc des Rapides going into Verdun. 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.
