Parc Lafontaine

The European-style park in Plateau Mont-Royal is one of the city's oldest. Illustrating the dual identities of the city's populace, half the park is landscaped in the formal French manner, the other in the more casual English style. Among its several bodies of water is a lake used for paddle boating in summer and ice-skating in winter. Snowshoe and cross-country trails wind through the trees and there are tennis courts on the premises. An open amphitheater, the Théâtre de Verdure, is the setting for free outdoor theater and movies in summer.

Open: Park daily 24 hr. Tennis courts summer daily 9am-10pm.Free admission; small fee for use of tennis courts.Métro: Sherbrooke.
