Don’t take it for granted

Jun 2018 • Couples

People all over the world don’t have great surroundings like theses. You can walk right up to Notre Dame or you can hang out and relax or people watch. The design is fantastic.

Peaceful!

Aug 2015

This place is located in the heart of Montreal and has such a charm about it. The iconic buildings with copper roofs gives this place a unique feel about it. I really enjoyed the views of it from my room at the Sheraton City Centre. Great place to go walk around and just relax for a few minutes!

Historic

Apr 2024 • Solo

This is one of a number of squares in yjis area of Montreal. One the most important Parks in Montreal, ‘Dominion Square Park-Place du Canada’ (Dorchester Square), features many monuments relevant to the history of Montreal. The park located in downtown Montreal covers over five acres of green space. It was inaugurated in 1878

A Park in the Center

Jun 2023

We passed through this square many times as the apartment we rented was nearby. It's downtown, near the Cathedral and train station with a couple of big hotels nearby. Nicely landscaped.

Downtown Park

Oct 2022

Nicely-landscaped park in the middle of downtown by the train station and a beautiful church. Nice break from the skyscrapers.

Cool Park

Jun 2019 • Couples

Walked through here a few times yesterday, as the hotel we are staying in overlooks it. Some great statues. The place is kept immaculate, with no rubbish at all. A true oasis of green, in the middle of Montreal.

Neat park

Jul 2018 • Family

In the middle of downtown Montreal there is the Place du Canada, a delightful little park in the middle of the city, we met a man walking his ferret while spending a bit of time here.

Nice serene park in downtown

Jun 2018 • Business

This is a small park just across from another small park, Dorchester Park (reviewed elsewhere). It is just next to also the Cathedral honoring Mary, Queen of the World which is also reviewed separately and to me definitely worth seeing. A bunch of statues are in the park and they make a great foreground or backdrop for some great photo ops of the domes of the Cathedral. Mostly locals here, some people just chilling and drawing or reading. This is a nice respite in the City just down from the Marriott and the Sheraton. Worth walking by and checking out if in the area at all, ten minutes max.

Cute little park

May 2018 • Solo

Relaxing little park downtown. There are benches to sit and relax and watch people go by. There are also quite a few birds and bird houses in the park. It is also the name of the building nearby. I like this park and it’s well situated. :)

Pretty little park

May 2018 • Solo

Right next to Dorchester park and the Mary Queen of the World Cathedral, this is a good place to relax, appreciate the surroundings and people passing through. There are also some monuments around the park.
