Three major parks in Montreal

Date

Free activity for adults at the Bibliothèque du Boisé.

Description

Renée Labrecque et Robert Hamilton

Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of three great Montreal parks that have shaped the landscape and identity of the city: Mount Royal Park, a mountain in the heart of Montreal: discover the beginnings of the park, its emblematic chalet, the belvedere, the lake, its monuments… and visions for its future. Parc La Fontaine, from its first name to what it has become: a look at what it was, what it is, and the tour of the park through time – past and present. Parc Frédéric-Back, from quarry to landfill site, then to park unique in the world: the incredible transformation of a place into a symbol of ecological innovation and urban resilience.
