“Large beautiful outdoor area, a huge park with enough room for social distancing while either taking a walk, having a picnic, enjoying the scenery, or having a barbecue. They do have barbecues on sight but you can also bring your own if you’re worried about sanitation. Multiple parking lots, free parking, easily accessible. Great place. Lots of natural beauty like trees, small man-made ponds which usually have ducks in them and trails all throughout it.” – Amanda Ducross

“Huge park right in the heart of Montreal. There are lots of trails, bike paths, and even cross country skiing in the winter. The pond in the south of the mountain is really nice if you want to have a picnic or just enjoy the nice weather. The chalet can get a little crowded but the view at the top is very nice. You see the Downtown Montreal skyline, the water, and bridges. This park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (who also co-designed New York City’s Central Park) and the park is just beautiful.” – Annie Yang
