Parks & Nature
The jewel of Montreal’s city parks is, without question, Mount Royal. This 200-hectare park occupies part of the mountain that lies in the midst of Montreal island, and includes the highest spot in the city. Designed by the same architect who designed Central Park in NYC - Frederick Olmstead. The lookout facing over downtown towards the river was first built in 1906 and is now officially known as the Belvédère Kondiaronk, named for the Huron chief who signed a major peace accord with the French regime in 1701. A second lookout, a famous trysting spot, faces eastward toward the Olympic Stadium. Royal shares the top of the mountain with several cemeteries: a huge Roman Catholic one, a large no

Great starting point to walk around Mount Royal's trails. Make sure you go up to the chalet on top of the mountain to get a great view of the city. In winter you can go tubing down the mountain or skate on Beaver Lake.

Parc Mont Royal is an amazing park located at the top of Mont-Royal. There are plenty of walking/jogging/hiking trails to explore and there are some great spots to get a view of the city. All the parks in Montreal are great for picnics if the weather is nice, and you can even bring beer, wine or other alcohol as long as you have enough food to justify it as a "substantial meal" (bread, cheese, and charcuterie is good enough).
