Beautiful park! This park is located at the tip of the peninsula. It’s not extensive, one might finish walking the whole park (starting from the right side path and returning through the left side path) in around 30 minutes, but it’s still worth the visit! During the whole path, you will have a broad view of the two lakes that surround the park, which makes the experience quite nice! The park has also a bike lane that is very inviting due to its beautiful surroundings. I find it important to mention that the washroom is limited as there was only one porta-potty at the entrance, so keep that in mind! Additionally, I found the area quite windy (it’s a peninsula, which explains it) and for this reason, I recommend you wear warm clothes. I went there in late October on a sunny day, and despite wearing a warm jacket, I wished I had brought gloves. The trees were beautiful with fall colours! I cannot wait to see this park in the winter. Highly recommend it!

Surrounded by water on the three sides, and a beautiful Sunset location at the end with flights taking off every 5 minutes, this park is a happy place for photographers. There is adequate space for BBQ and family get together. The walking/running and cycling tracks are separated, and you would certainly enjoy doing those activities by the waterfront. If fishing is your hobby, you are bound to have a good time, as it is next to the river. There are some sculptures spread across the park as well. On the flip side, the restrooms are way too small, and accessibility is a problem, as it is on the slight uphill kind of thing. Cleanliness was also a constraint, because of the bird droppings, but it's ok I think.

Nestled in Montreal, this park boasts some of the most stunning scenery and landscapes in the area. The breathtaking views provide a perfect backdrop for a leisurely bike ride along the picturesque paths. Visitors have the option to partake in a leisurely picnic or enjoy a barbecue, and convenient bathroom facilities are available. While parking is available, it's important to note that there are fees for using the parking facilities. Additionally, street parking and private parking options are also available for visitors. For those looking to explore the park on two wheels, there's a Bixi station located at the entrance, providing the perfect opportunity for a delightful bike ride through the park.

Visit the park every now and then especially in the summer. It is absolutely beautiful. With the breeze, it is very relaxing and fresh for people to walk, cycle, rollerskate on the assigned trails, or to have a picnic on the grass, or chairs, or the picnic tables. There are ducks and geese on the shore, and the view from the park to the river is amazing. There artworks in the park make an indispensable decoration. There are bbq spots close to the entrance. Parking is easy with meters. Sometimes the wind from the lake is strong. Bring a sweater. Toillets are found close to the entrance and the end of the island.

Parc René-Lévesque is a beautiful and tranquil green space located in Lachine. Boasting a picturesque view of the St. Lawrence River, it's the perfect place for leisurely walks, bike rides, or picnics. The sculpture garden, featuring a dozen outdoor sculptures, adds an artistic charm that sets it apart from other parks. Plus, the park is meticulously maintained, clean, and peaceful. It's a great place to escape the city's hustle and bustle without leaving Montreal.

Most scenic park of the Montreal with a great view of the Saint Lawrence river. I would say this is the best place for the stroll, relaxation from the busy life and wonderful location for the nature photography lovers. It looks very vibrant in summer with lots of activities, you can bring your own stuff and food. I have visited this place many times in summer, autumn and winter and have been lucky enough to get beautiful sunsets and moon rises views.
