Parc du Portugal

Nice environment, decent size, not too big enough for picnics in my opinion, neither a walk. Good place if you just want to sit down and relax around trees. Chill people around there too, only downside is that there's a main road (Saint Laurent Blvd) next to it, so the car can sometime be loud.

So cosy with plenty of benches. The lion fountain is so good in summer to wet your head under it.

Parc du Portugal is the heart of little Portugal! Morning to evening, you'll find local couples and friends meeting to socialise and discuss daily events or football. The bandstand regularly has musicians playing and is often enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. During the summer months there are various events, festivals and yoga classes held in the park. Come here to soak up the local atmosphere, chat with friends or rest from a tour of the plateau's numerous murals closeby. Some can even be spotted directly from the park!

Cute little
Local park right in front of Leonard Cohens house!

This is a gorgeous park. So reminiscent of parka in Portugal especially with the type of tile used. We walked near it to visit Leonard Cohen's home during the Museum of Montreal Jewish tour called "In the Shadow of the Mountain.".

Definitely worth a visit!
