The verdict

Fine as a filler, not a destination. Walk it for 30 to 45 minutes if you're already near Jean-Talon or Little Italy and want some fall foliage and a reset. The city says trail network redevelopment is underway, so paths may be torn up. Skip it if time is tight.

  • Editor's lead: pairs with Little Italy / Jean-Talon
  • Open daily 6am to midnight per the city

Why maybePleasant neighbourhood park but unremarkable for a 4-day trip; active works may limit paths; foliage quality not verified.

Vibe check

chill/low key

Best fora quick walk, a daylight break between market stops

What it costs

$$$$Est. $0 / person

City page states no fee for park access; not explicitly stated as free.

Our estimate from posted prices, CAD, before tax and tip. Québec purchases carry the 5% federal GST plus the 9.975% Québec Sales Tax (QST, TVQ in French): 14.975% combined on taxable items. Tourisme Montréal: it is customary to tip restaurant servers, taxi drivers and hairdressers 15% of the bill, before taxes. Bellhops, porters and doormen generally get at least $2 per bag or service; coffee and food counters often have a tip cup by the register.
