Once a utilitarian stop in the city’s industrial network, Hangar 1825 now plays a quieter but no less vital role along the Lachine Canal. The restored building sits between Lock No. 3 and the Atwater footbridge, acting as both a visual anchor and a public amenity. Surrounded by bike paths and greenery, it’s a natural pause point for canal-goers—somewhere to catch your breath, admire a mural, or grab a seat in the shade. The structure itself blends historical architecture with contemporary interventions, offering public bathrooms, picnic tables, and sightlines that open up to the water. Pay a visit during one of many, many events during the summer.
