Great Park, feels like far away in the wilderness yet only 5 minutes drive from the Metro and a WOW view of Montreal and the St-Laurence River. I visit this park frequently one of my favorite places. I noticed over the years that wildlife is becoming more abundant than ever, just last year I notice lynx tracks + cub tracks along side of the river in the mud, the feline paws were so larg that I even thought it was the Eastern Puma making a new come-back but still unsure about that last one, also there are sightings of coyotes.There are numerous populations of deer throughout the near by parks of the St-Laurence River and a great variety of aquatic birds like Herons + many more species like ducks. Just hope they will protect one of so many last areas like Park Marie-Victorin

There's also too many dogs off leash in the eastern wooded part of the park. Drug paraphernalia is also very present. Creepy sex offenders seem to enjoy the secluded areas as well as the parking lot. On the upside there's a great kids playground sheltered from the Sun by the shade of...

No designated pedestrian walkway. Very rocky shore, view of the Montreal industrial area, dirty, uneven green area where you can twist ankles, old and run down facilities, infernal noise from the highway next to it. To be avoided! Clearly used by...
