Sigh I love this park so much, for so many reasons. The beach here can get crowded in the summer,…read morebut the whole space is worth exploring. I've actually helped to throw a gorgeous wedding here in the heritage buildings a number of years ago, it was challenging but so memorable and I'd highly recommend it if you're willing to do the work and deal with the constraints of the space (when they reopen). But winter here is my favourite. We love to come here cross-country skiing as a family, being on these huge trails and wild edges of the island. It's always breezy here in the summer, even hot days are soothing, the waves are wild and you just feel a release from the heaviness of the city. All the more appreciated during these crazy times.

This park has parking right across the street. It's beautiful all year long. I discover that it's…read morenot only beautiful in the summer to take a walk and relax by the water but a place to enjoy pain! Yes this park has some great Obstacles (adults only!). I've been training my first year for spartan races and discovered a lot of groups use this park for some serious workouts. They take place all season long! Yes u will find us in short mid winter. Get ur tack shoes on and go try it out.. please make sure you don't try the the obstacles alone.. they can be dangerous.

OMG! WHAT A FIND!…read moreTaking my usual evening bike ride, I stumbled upon this beautiful piece of land called Angel Forest. Probably the most enjoyable bike ride I've done ever since I moved away from Westmount and the magical Mont-Royal in downtown Montreal. Very rugged terrain with many sharp rocks protruding from the very dangerous path I took in mid darkness, FUN! There is also a huge fenced-in dog area where the animals socialize chained up and muzzled. And the dogs do too! (That's a joke) All I know is that at the end of my visit I came out of the forest passed an abandoned railway that ends up nowhere, surrounded by factories and the smell of white bread being manufactured. Where the heck am I? Kept riding all the way to the highway (40) where I saw the Linguini restaurant and thought wow! Let's eat! I will definitely be back to this wonderful area.

We stopped by around noon. The view was breath taking. Enjoyed the nature. Loved the quite and…read morecalmness.

We decided to stop in the area on a Saturday evening around supper time, to enjoy the park and the…read moreview. The good: Stunning view. Beautiful area. Feels old and charming. Not much bugs. Peer is nice and lovely boats there. The bad: EXTREMELY busy! No parking spots anywhere (seriously). You wish they would invest in more parking spaces (then again it is free so who cares). Drivers can easily take a one way street in the wrong direction. Maybe it was because it was Saturday night, maybe because it was the last hot weekend on the summer, but going there is almost an impossible task, and people can easily be discouraged. Go there at your own risks.

Fun weekend activity in Montreal for small children. This farm offers 1 hour tours that involve…read morefeeding and petting various animals. The animals include rabbits, ducks, chickens, goats, alpacas, a small cow and even some wild pigs. They also have a friendly dog named Ava that greets you as you walk in the farm. Tickets are $14 per person and free for children 2 and younger. Totally worthwhile, as it's a pretty immersive experience and you're surrounded by tons of animals. The animals are friendly and not aggressive. The staff was also friendly and helpful. I would definitely wear some boots to the farm (especially if it's rained recently) and follow the directions on their website to find the farm.

There are weekend tours here throughout the year. Check their FB page or website for details…read more An intimate permaculture farm that is founded in values that respect the animals and the earth. Right when you walk onto the farm you're greeted by their gorgeous friendly dog Ava surrounded by a pond filled with chirpy ducks. You'll probably feel right at home here, as I did. For a reasonable fee, you can have a guided tour of the rabbits, goats, alpacas, and a free running miniature cow and miniature horses! Yes you can feed them! Some tips: 1) you must chop the food into bite sizes for the alpacas! 2) No cucumbers 3) No loose plastic bags. So, it's best to bring your food ready to feed the animals in a bag. Make sure you watch small children as the goats can be energetic when eating. Yes, you're in the enclosure with them right in the middle of the action! They also offer volunteer opportunities to the public a few times a year. I didn't find it too muddy but wear outdoor shoes just in case. Bring some hand wipes as I'm not sure if there's a hand washing station.
