Parc Angrignon — Attraction in Montreal

This is my review after 20th visited Angrignon Park, and it brought back a lot of memories 🌳 .The landscape remains as beautiful as ever, with plenty of green spaces perfect for relaxing or having a picnic. 🧺 They have convenient picnic benches available on site, which makes it easy to sit down and enjoy a meal outdoors.

One of the highlights of Angrignon Park is that it’s a fantastic place for a barbecue at any time of the year. 🍖 The park is well-equipped with barbecue facilities, so you can enjoy grilling with family and friends while surrounded by nature. 🏞️

Another great aspect of the park is the ample free parking, making it accessible for everyone. 🚗 You won't have to worry about finding a spot, which is a huge relief. Additionally, the park has clean and well-maintained washrooms, ensuring a comfortable visit. 🚻

However, I couldn't help but notice a change since 2014 visits. The increase in graffiti or "tags" on the existing structures around the city, including parks like Angrignon, was quite disappointing. 😔 I understand that some people view it as a form of expression, but I'd much rather see beautiful artwork than the scribbles that currently mar the park's aesthetics. 🎨

Despite this, Angrignon Park remains a stunning location, perfect for a variety of outdoor activities. 🌼 I’m looking forward to seeing more of it and hope that the issue with the tags can be addressed to preserve the park’s natural beauty. 🌟

Overall, Angrignon Park is a gem in the city, and I can't wait to return and explore more of its...

Excellent park

ACCESS: Great for getting to by car, bus or metro, bike or walking. Angrignon Metro Station adjacent as well as bus routes. There are two parking lots. The south one accessible from La Verandrye is less busy and free.

SIZE: Big for a city park. Plenty of walkways & trails, big space so you don't feel everyone is ever bunched together.

NATURE: Lots of trees and a lake. You can find squirrels, many types of birds and if you're lucky a few other animals as well. Seasonal native flowers, plenty of shade.

SERVICES: Public bathrooms, benches (although many are out in the sun) , a dog park for dogs to play & run around in and there used to be a snack bar in the main building which decades ago was a small zoo (there was even an elephant in the 1980s!)

WHEN TO GO: Year-round. In winter it's a good nature walk, skating on the lake and beats being indoors. In spring lots of new buds & flowers, you see a lot of photographers taking pictures. Summer people sunbathe, walk around, bikeride, enjoy the sights near the lake. Fall is great for foliage, trees change colours.

RAINY DAYS: If you ever take a walk in a rainy day you will see a lot of animals because they are less bothered by people.

All in all a great place to enjoy nature in the city as this is one of Montreal's largest green spaces and easily...

It was a perfect fall day and not crazy busy like in the summertime. Nice park. It's well kept and clean. There is a nice forest, but also has open spaces as well. There is also a decent size pond/lake with a path all the way around. Part of the path was made a path while some are unofficial paths. If you have children with you, you will probably want to stay on the official paths, because some of the paths near the lake are narrow and a child could easily fall into the water. The gardeners who work here are hard working and do a very good job maintaining this place. It's a nice break from the city, while being close by. Angrignon Metro Station is on the edge of the park, so it's easy to get to if you don't have a car. It has a parking lot and also street parking nearby. It's always enjoyable walking here. You are allowed to bring dogs to this park as long as they are on a leash and they are...
