Usually, I'm not a fan of city parks, but this one is something special. It's unlike any other I've seen before. It's clean (despite being open 24/7), well maintained, picturesque, peaceful and relaxing despite the fact it's located in the heart of Montreal's bustling commercial center. I was simply seduced by its beauty to have a stroll here and sit down on one of the many benches and take a break from touring the city. There are some historic monuments such as the Boer War Memorial or statue of Sir Wilfrid Laurie, but for me the most eye-catching structure was the fountain on the north part of the park - it seemed as if someone had cut it in half and I find that very interesting! I can imagine this place buzzing with activity during lunchtime - I would be a regular visitor if I were to work nearby. Speaking of nearby, the Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral is just on the next block, which is worth a visit as well. It's a true hidden gem in the midst of the city's urban landscape. Visited on a Sunday, July 2023.

Beautiful Green Oasis in the Heart of Montreal!" Dorchester Square is such a peaceful escape in downtown Montreal! It’s a beautifully maintained park with lush green lawns, tall trees, and historic statues that make for a perfect backdrop to relax and enjoy the city’s charm. This square is also incredibly family-friendly – plenty of open space for the kids to stretch their legs and explore. We found it an ideal spot for a quick break during our day. The historical monuments and statues added an interesting touch, and even our little ones were intrigued by the stories behind them. Its central location makes it a convenient stop, especially if you’re exploring nearby areas. Highly recommend stopping by for a refreshing break

It is great to see the north section of the square finished with the two Bridges and the incomplete cut off fountain. This is an excellent work of my favorite landscape architect, Claude Cormier. In a Sunday afternoon at the beginning of Autumn the place was a perfect postcard: young families with strollers, tourists taking pictures and squirrels running and jumping around. The trees were showing hints of what is going to be their coloring in a few weeks time. A great place to start a downtown discovery walking tour.

One of my frequent go-to places in downtown Montreal is Dorchester Square. When I get tired of shopping in the underground city or walking around Ste-Catherine, I find a bench and take a break. The square is situated north and south of Rene-Levesque Boulevard. Stick to the northern part for people-watching or go to the southern part if you prefer a less frequented area. There are several businesses east and west of the square, but some are in dilapidated buildings that could use a renovation.
