Spend the day in one of Montreal's best parks
"Plan to spend multiple days at Parc Jean-Drapeau, an enormous public park that spans across two manmade islands. With more than 25 kilometers (over 15 miles) of trails and roads, it offers the perfect path for an afternoon stroll or morning jog. One of the park’s outstanding features is the Montreal Biosphere, a museum built for the Expo 67 World’s Fair."

"Built over the St-Lawrence River, the bridge has spectacular panoramic views of the city, and it’s a unique way to get to Parc Jean-Drapeau. Once on the island, you can drop your bike off and head off for a day of rides at La Ronde or just ogle the awe-inspiring wonder that is Buckminster Fuller’s Biosphère."

15 Best Things to Do in Montreal With Kids All Year Round
"Parc Mont-Royal was inaugurated in 1976 in an effort to preserve a natural space in the city’s core, but the park has been an important social meeting ground for generations before it was made official. Today, it’s the site of the weekly Tam Tam drum circle, vast picnic grounds, an excellent toboggan hill where equipment can be rented for a nominal fee, a lookout at the summit and multiple hiking trails."

The best parks to check out in and around Montreal this summer
"You can’t mention parks in Montreal without highlighting Mont Royal Park. Sure, it hosts two hockey rinks in the winter but nothing tops Mont Royal Park’s weekly Tam-Tams parties every Sunday which is currently on hiatus. The park’s main attraction is the George-Etienne Cartier monument and the park’s liveliness stems from the sound of the drums from which Tam-Tams gets its name."

Montreal Fall Foliage: Top Leaf-Peeping Destinations
"Mount Royal Park—which is home to the mountain that the city of Montreal is named after—is one of the top destinations to visit in the city at any time of year. In the fall, however, this should be one of the top places on your travel list. This accessible park is located immediately west of downtown Montreal and can be reached on foot, bike, or via public transit."

"In fact, if you’ve put “feed the bears” on your list of what to do in Montreal, you only have one real option: the Ecomuseum Zoo. The Ecomuseum Zoo is a small zoo located on the very tip of the Island of Montreal. It isn’t fancy, and it doesn’t have state-of-the-art facilities like some of the bigger wildlife facilities in Canada."

This West Island zoo houses 115 species from Quebec, including arctic foxes, black bears and a delightful raft of otters."

"Plus, after eating at La Banquise you’re basically already in one of Montreal’s lovely green spaces, Parc la Fontaine, where you can rent boats on a small lake or just sit and people watch. I also really loved cycling around the neighborhood here, with its cute alleyways and houses. I used the network of Bixi bikes during my stay in Montreal, which is extremely convenient and affordable, and definitely my favorite way of getting around the city (weather permitting)"

"Located at the southern end of the green line of the metro, this park’s a humongous tribute to English gardens that were common in the 19th century. With tens of thousands of trees, wide open greenspaces, paths and ponds spread out over 200 acres, one visit is rarely ever enough to feel like you’ve experienced the park in its entirety. That’s twice as true when it comes to winters when it becomes a huge wonderland perfect for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice-skating and tobogganing throughout."

"Residents of the city of Westmount are extremely proud of this large greenspace, and are quick to credit it as the most beautiful park in Montreal thanks to gorgeous landscaping and planning. The park is home to the Westmount Public Library, a soccer field and tennis courts available for the sportive public to take advantage of during pleasant weather. It also features public ping pong tables, as well as built-in chess tables to enjoy a quiet game (pieces not included)."

"That’s saying a lot because the park is competing with mansions, the oratory, and Eugenie Bouchard. Westmount Park’s 26 acres is home to the newly renovated pool, a massive playground, a football/soccer field, tennis courts, gorgeous gardens, a charming dog park, climbable trees and a pond with a mini waterfall. It may be Montreal’s second biggest park, but it’s arguably number one in popularity."

"Locals enjoy visiting this park to tan, picnic and exercise, but it’s most known for is its large soccer field where locals organize friendly matches during the summer and hockey in the winter. Walk through the tree-canopied and bench-lined path from Rachel Street where the city’s colorful characters gather for conversation and playing cards or checkers. If jogging’s your thing, a couple of laps around the park makes for a great running track as well."

"With an upper level dedicated to refined Italian dining, and a lower level that serves wood-oven pizza (for here or to go), as well as ice-cream, Moleskine is a restaurant with a split personality that offers something for everyone. Both upstairs and down you’ll find innovation that packs a punch: hearty and memorable dishes above, simple and well-made bites below. Its name, even, is a nod to Nota Bene, a charming stationary store next door."

"Why we selected it:The casual pizza offerings in Montreal are something that locals often begrudgingly admit aren’t the best, and that’s driven places like Moleskine to pop up. With a wood-fired oven at its back, the Neapolitan-style pies stepped up the game in the downtown core. That same oven at Moleskine powers a formidably delicious menu upstairs with offerings that only an open fire could provide."
