This place is awesome! As you can see I was here in the winter. So many great walking trails, great view over the city near the summit. Lots of people use this, skiing, mountain bike riding, joggers, walkers, sledding, such a great place. Despite the snow, trails are well maintained. Very safe to walk around... I went up here at 3am one morning (couldn't sleep jet lag), I did take a torch but didn't need it as the lights from McGill University and the hospital shone up this way, so was able to see the trail no problems. Near the top there is some more lights (where communication tower is) and against the white snow I didn’t need my torch. Not sure how it goes during summer. I went up this hill many times during my stay, ice skating rink, the stone art, the cross at top, plus the awesome view of the city, so many things in this area so close to the city. Need to take care if you going up the stairs, very icy, very steep, I preferred to go via the wide trail that winds its way up the hill, as much as the stairs are a great heart burner and good for getting heart rate up, too slippery and had a close call, so the slow burn up the trail incline was for me. Well...

Le parc du Mont-Royal est l'un des espaces verts les plus importants de Montréal. Il protège le mont Royal de développements urbains plus étendus. Le parc, créé en 1876, est considéré comme étant la plus ancienne aire protégée du Québec. C'est en 1853 que le conseiller A.A. Stevenson a proposé de préserver la montagne. Afin d'appuyer sa démarche, le colonel Stevenson fait tirer plusieurs salves d'un canon qu'il fait transporter sur le mont Royal afin de contredire ceux qui le prétendent inaccessible3. Durant l'hiver 1862-1863, l'abattage de plusieurs arbres par un dénommé Lamothe sur son terrain au nord de la rue Peel incite finalement la ville à passer à l'action et à acquérir les terrains sur la montagne afin de les convertir en parc.

Le parc majoritairement boisé fut aménagé par Frederick Law Olmsted, paysagiste du Central Park à New York. Le projet d'Olmsted s'inspire de la topographie naturelle du site, le divise en plusieurs secteurs et le dote de deux belvédères. Il rencontre plusieurs oppositions, notamment de la part de ceux qui souhaitent une vocation et un développement plus urbains. Le parc est finalement inauguré le 24 mai 1876 après que la ville eut investi un million de dollars pour l'acquisition des terrains et leur aménagement3.

Le parc fut gravement touché par la tempête de verglas de 1998, mais a par la suite regagné son ancienne gloire. En 2005, une section de 29 800 m2 du parc fut reconnue comme l'habitat floristique du Parc-du-Mont-Royal. Cette petite aire a pour mission de protéger la podophylle pelté, plante menacée au Québec.n des éléments majeurs du parc est le long sentier qui le traverse et permet d'accéder au sommet ainsi qu'aux belvédères, le chemin Olmsted. Il prend sa source au pied du monument à Sir George-Étienne Cartier et serpente en pente douce jusqu'au lac aux Castors. Il se divise en trois sections définies par Olmsted lui-même :

Section 1 : du monument jusqu'à l'escalier de la rue Peel. La section est constituée de 4 zones, la Côte Placide, le Piedmont, la Pente rocheuse et l'Escarpement. Le monument se trouve devant l"avenue du Parc, tracée en 1883. Le côté Est de l'avenue est devenu le parc Jeanne-Mance en 1942. Le parc du Mont-Royal se situe du côté Ouest. À ce niveau, outre le monument Cartier, on retrouve le kiosque Mordecai Richler et le Quartier général du Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal. La Côte Placide se rend jusqu'à l'avenue du Mont-Royal et la voie Camilien-Houde avant de bifurquer et de rejoindre le Piedmont. Un autre virage mène cette fois à la Pente rocheuse et ses plantations de conifères, puis vers l'Escarpement, côte abrupte sur les flancs de la montagne, jusqu'à l'escalier Peel qui permet de gravir l'escarpement. Section 2 : de l'escalier de la rue Peel jusqu'au chalet, constituée de 3 zones : le Serpentin, la Fougeraie et la Clairière. Le Serpentin est un sentier sinueux qui permet de descendre et de rejoindre l'avenue des Pins et la rue Peel. La Fougeraie traverse une forêt plus dense où une halte est aménagée autour de l'abreuvoir. La Clairière est une plaine gazonnée autour du lac aux Castors. Non loin, la maison Smith abrite un centre d'interprétation. De là, le chemin conduit au belvédère et au sommet. Section 3 : une boucle qui part du chalet et fait le tour du sommet où se trouvent notamment la croix et l'autre belvédère sur l'Est de Montréal. On retrouve également l'antenne de Radio-Canada érigée en 1952, le poste de cavalerie du Service de police de la Ville de Montréal et un modeste monument à Frederick...

The expansive green space in the center of the city is home to Mount Royal, the mountain (really just a large hill) from which Montreal gets its name.

It is the highest point in the city. Towering over central Montréal, Parc du Mont-Royal (Mount Royal Park) is frequented by joggers, picnickers, dog walkers, and bicyclists throughout the year, and it's one of Montréal's largest green spaces

During the warmer months, (we went there on US Memorial weekend, May 2024)- you can rent rowboats on the park's Lac aux Castors (Beaver Lake), but we preferred the Chalet du Mont-Royal (also called View Point) - It offers breathtaking park and city views any time of year. You can also take a stroll through one of the park's three cemeteries (one English, one Jewish, and one French). Mount Royal also has a lake (Lac aux Castors, or Beaver Lake) where you can rent a paddle boat, admire baby ducklings, or iced skate, depending on the season

There are several eateries on-site as well as a gift shop and bathrooms. The park is open daily from 6 a.m. to midnight; the Mount Royal Park Welcome Centre is open from 8 AM to 8 PM daily. Admission to the...
