This new park provides families in the neighbourhood with splash pad and adventure play spaces for children, relaxation and meeting areas as well as cool spots planted with greenery.

As it may be recalled, this public place, located in the heart of LaSalle’s Chinese community life, highlights the friendship pact signed in October 2018, between the borough of LaSalle and the city of Taishan, China. With the signing of this pact, the two cities have agreed to further develop their relations and encourage exchanges between their residents.

A large part of the Chinese-LaSalle community lives right here in this neighbourhood. I invite the entire population to take advantage of this place for gatherings and discussions, just like the friendly exchanges between LaSalle and Taishan.

Taishan-born Montreal artist Ngan Siu-Mui was also on hand to celebrate the event. Ngan Siu-Mui created the magnificent Chinese calligraphy symbolizing the name of Parc de Taishan, engraved on the identification marker at the entrance to the park.
