Parc Jarry (Jarry Park)
Parc Jarry has a wide range of sports facilities as well as picturesque, but is also a great place to relax
Jarry Park is a beautiful place to escape the bustle of the city any time of the year. The 89 acre park offers a wide variety of sporting facilities, but is also a great place to just hang out and relax or enjoy a stroll.
Jarry Park is well know to baseball fans; its stadium was home to Canada's first Major League Baseball team, the Montreal Expos, for 7 years from 1969 to 1976. The park features a small man-made lake containing a large water fountain that creates a focal point and is especially beautiful when it is lit up at night. The water feature, which is popular with ducks and other waterfowl, is bordered with picturesque landscaping including weeping willow trees and perennial gardens.
Jarry park boasts many sports facilities including multiple baseball diamonds, tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer fields, cricket fields, and a popular skateboard park. Even if you don't want to participate in some of these activities, they can all be fun to watch. It is amazing to see some of the stunts the kids in park pull off with their skateboards and bikes. The park is also a popular spot for flying kites. During the winter months the man-made lake is also enjoyed by ice skaters and the park paths are used for cross country skiing.

Parc Jarry Reviews
Rated out of 5
Impressed! I went to this park and was truly surprised by the size of it. It has a lot of nice sports fields (soccer, basketball, tennis, baseball), a huge greenery area, a kids' playground, and a beautiful fountain by the lake. If you are going to this park I strongly recommend you bring a tablecloth to sit on the grass, along with some snacks, and water. You may also consider bringing some ball/games to play with your friends or family as the environment is perfect for that. Anyway, it’s a very democratic place, anyone can have fun! Whether you are a sporty person or someone who likes to relax/stroll, I’m sure you’ll have a great time at this park. Highly recommend it!

My favorite park in the city. We often get cappuccinos & snacks at Boulangerie Jarry and then walk down to the park for a little picnic. There are lots of very different areas - the large pond, with ducks and red winged blackbirds and a big fountain in the middle; a huge grassy expanse, where people often gather to fly planes, sunbathe, or let children & pets run around; a large playground area for kids; and an excess of sports areas. There's a large sports complex and a public swimming pool bordering the park as well, and a splash pad for kids (though it isn't always up and running). Between all these spaces are plenty of treed areas and grassy hills to lounge on!
It's my little happy place in the city. I would highly recommend a visit :)

Large park with many paths and different areas for various sports (including a pool) and a playground. A lovely pond and many benches and seating areas. Though there are a few areas with trees, it is generally pretty open. There is a separate dog park.
