Parc Angrignon feels like a world away from the city, despite sitting at the last stop of the green metro line. Spanning 97 hectares, it’s one of Montreal’s largest green spaces, designed in the style of 19th-century English gardens with wide-open meadows, dense forests, and a 1.1-kilometre lake winding through it all. In summer, the park’s trails are a draw for walkers and cyclists, while picnic areas and a children’s playground make it a go-to for families. Come winter, the landscape transforms into a vast snow-covered playground, offering cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and tobogganing. Once home to a small farm and a “fun fort” for kids, the park has shifted toward a more natural retreat, though it still retains an adventurous spirit. Whether you’re here for a quiet stroll or a full day outdoors, Angrignon has more than enough space to disappear into.
