Reviews of Notre Dame de Grâce Park (Park)

James Walker

Great park. Good modules and water games. Areas for little kids are fenced.

Michael Metzen

Nice park with lots of opportunities for kids. Also has restrooms.

Oscar J. Acosta

Great park for grown-ups, children AND dogs. With Bixi stations during spring, summer and fall. It has a fenced dog area and a fenced children's area too. There a pleasant paths with a few remaining trees from last year's microburst that brought some down and it also has a softball field that has a skating rink installed during winter, the chalet hosts bathrooms and public common sheltered areas. This is a pretty nice Park!

Arax Zaeimi

Take a walk, enjoy your moment and relax. It's a good place to do so.

Katie O'Connor

Big, beautiful park. Lots of cafes and restaurants close by. Off-leash dog park, playground, exercise equipment, always people doing yoga and tai chi and having picnics. Baseball, buskers, free wifi, and public restrooms.

Belle Atthebath

Love this park! Quite big, but i usually just hang near the doggies park. :) full of squirrels and a nice atmosphere

Joel Reyes

The park is nice with internet access all over the area. Nice area to stretch your legs.

Harm Rombeek

Very nice park inside a busy city This is a large park occupying a good sized block in a very busy section of Montreal. There is enough room for a quiet oasis from to hectic pace around it, a dog run, two children's play grounds to cover all ages as well sports fields. It includes a small community building with washrooms. Accessible by bus. There is some on-street parking.

Zak Kik

Amazing comedy shows in the summer on Saturdays

Joseph Esteves

Great ambiance and size! There is free Wi-Fi available for public use while in the park, as well as a lot of amenities. Skating rinks in the winter, soccer and baseball fields in the summer, lots of green space. There is even two dog parks (one for big dogs, and one for little), so even furry friends can have fun here!

Perrine Fevre

Very nice park with great kids playground. I enjoy the dog park too. A must have in Montreal

Renaldo Cesta

An awesome park for the entire family. The splash park section for the children is excellent. The shear size of this space is a welcome green space in this concrete jungle.

Sylvie Romano

Large park with space to have parties. Two play areas, one for young kids and one for older kids. Splash pad is enclosed and secure but my only complaint is that it is in the shade. The shade just makes it too cold for splashing in the water

Paul Rupert

How can I not love my local park? Survived a microblast a few years ago but rose from the dead. Cool skater culture complete with fumes????, kids cool off in sprinklers and play on playground equipment. Impromptu softball games, family gatherings, picnics with Gen Z's with cool tats, hair, and sexualities, and old white and Rastamen finally united by old age. Shakespeare in the summer, cross country skiing in winter.

Dog run recently renovated - large, clean but a lot of sand so it's difficult for the dogs to run & play. Overall a very clean & well maintained park with a newly renovated chalet with a large handicap accessible washroom.

Todd Munro

The splashpad is a great place to take the kids to cool off on a hot day. Play structures available for all age groups. Just a nice park to sit and have a picnic with friends. Washrooms are available as well.

A Greer

Public park with free access, lots of space to walk, run, play, or relax. Has play area for younger children. Great location if can find street parking by meter.

Eve Nikolova

The city of making many improvements to this park. The new chalet Area is really nice. It's too bad that they lost all of trees in the storm. Love the dog park.

Abdul Rahman Nashawi

Valeria Azcoitia

Nice playgrounds, one for small kids and one for bigger kids. Chalet with toilet and indoors space really convenient. Water park in summer and ice skating in winter. Great park!

Dave Marmaros

Pro: excellent park. Lots of good areas for small kids. [~2y] Con: couldn't get the free wifi working

Jemal M Yesuf

Been going to this park all year round. Nice place to workout or sit and relax and reflect life. Wish there were more workout installations.

Mrinal Rai

It's okay. Lots of squirrels tho.

Jasmin G.

Has all the fixings of a good park. It was recently renovated and they redid all the stone work after a storm destroyed some of the parks older trees. It has a dog park, and a kids park and a small place to skate. There are some benches and nice grassy areas.

Grey Cat

Lovely park even with the loss, to a stormy cloud burst, of the green cathedral of old trees along Sherbrooke.

Emilie Noel

I LOVE this park! It's such a nice place to go with friends or family. The dog park is wonderful; I go there weekly with my labrador. There's also free wifi (yay!).

Grace Hyojeong CHAE

It's very good place to play my young kids.

Kris Bennett

I like that there's running water available to keep the dogs hydrated. .. the lack of grass and complete dirt park for the dogs makes for a messy park experience on wet days.

Anthony Taylor

Great park with room to skate for those that like to skate board, splash park, lot of room to sit and relax with a good book or enjoy a pleasant conversation with a friend. Not to mention this park has wifi for those looking for free wifi access.

Brian O Connor (BrianO)

Right in the heart of NDG is this beautiful little patch of green. It includes a children's park with water splashing, dog park, an skating area, baseball field and lots of grass to lay on. Washroom facilities are on site, and in winter they host a nice hockey skating rink. Enjoy.

Vanesa J

I had WiFi access from the Mtl open Internet network, great!. Unfortunately, a group of pot smokers arrived and the smell was insupportable...

Achyut Adhhikari

Big and beautiful. Have separate area for the dogs. So, we can call it as a dog park too.

Marco Rettie

Gorgeous park with plenty of grass space, benches and greenery. Also very clean! Great place to hang out.

melanie dee

Structures for big kids and small, sprinklers, and plenty of room for a picnic. Bathrooms and water fountains. Dog run too.

Madeleine King

Something for everyone! Splash pad, 2 playgrounds, a dog park, and wide open grassy space with old trees, perfect for picnics, exercise, meditation, walks, or a nap in the sun.

Steve M.

NDG Park is one of the better green spaces in NDG. It covers a large area and is great for people of all sorts - families, couples, groups, and individuals. If you need a quiet corner, it's easy to find and if you're looking for some socializing there are plenty of people just hanging out. Large trees, shade, well balanced with other large open areas. There's a kiddie area with plenty of swings etc. and a water playground for hot summer days. In the winter, there's an outdoor hockey rink that the city sets up.There also is an enclosed dog area that is large and dogs can roam free and play with other doggies. There's a subsection to keep the smaller dogs away from the big ones.

It is a beautiful and relaxing park with a recently renovated dog park, a small water park and a playground for kids, which are now open. Sometimes atmosphere feels like Woodstock. Before the freak microbursting windstorm of August 22nd, 2017, there were lots of old trees but they did do a nice job making the park beautiful again. Having a play in the park was a good idea, and has become a pleasant but distant memory of the old days. Considering many people in this neighborhood don't have backyards or balconies, going to a park is crucial for their well being, especially when so much has been stopped and may not restart as expected or promised. One thing missing in this park is an official skateboard area/rink so there is a lot of random skateboarding going on sometimes even on the cenotaph and obstructing the walking area around the cenotaph. Sometimes the distancing rules are not remembered and some boarders wiz by other park goers within inches so there is a potential for a future accident waiting to happen, IMO. You also have to keep an eye on the path when walking because, like most of Montreal there are a lot of pot holes, skateboarders whizzing by and people who stand in the path talking to each other 6 feet apart so you have to walk around them. Sometimes not much respect for social distancing and a small number of frisbee throwers, not wearing masks, tend to be inconsiderate of others sitting on benches, while apologizing every time they almost hit them with a possibly contaminated frisbee, sometimes crawling under the bench the person is sitting on to retrieve the possibly contaminated frisbee, so only safe option is to find another bench. Similar with taking a bus nearby. An unmasked person putting their hands on the back of your seat gives you no other safe option but to find another seat, cause someone saying that they are sorry while they are possibly spreading, instead of trying to prevent the spreading and the fear of spreading Covid-19 to possibly vulnerable people is not enough IMO & rather stupid if not hypocritical. We have gone through all this for 3 months, putting millions out of work & many businesses could go bankrupt, to prevent spread of Covid-19, so an umasked stranger can whimsically throw a possibly contaminated frisbee so another can crawl under your bench to retrieve it. For a moment a beautiful park feels like a sad place to be.

Andrei Copelet

Big park with lots of installation for toddlers, clean ,spacious, great place to have a piknik .

Peter Quill

Nice family safe park, positive energy abounds, nice big dog park with a section for doglets. It's a clean park and the people who use it are mostly nice enough to clean up.

Ilania Abileah

Notre Dame de Grace is a fine residential area, with some older brick houses, in streets canopied by beautiful large trees, and a few "in" streets for shopping and lounging in quaint cafes and authentic ethnic eateries. A Montreal quarter with a unique character of its own. It also goes down to the part of Sherbrook street with its good stores, and restaurants. Some of the restaurants and cafes have sidewalk seating too. Parking might be hard to find at times. Enjoy your visit!

Gunnar Heiberg

Awesome park so much space so much to do. Basketball courts, soccer field, table tennis

Fernando Espejel

Beautiful and very quiet place to relax, do some meditation, take the sun, read a book, walk your dog and even have picnic. It has internet conection to work or just enjoy yourself

Bayan Hijir

Valerie Morin

yasmina “Ebyru” C

One of my favourite parks, just not easy to walk in winter

Lupa Duende

Puppy playground, toddler waddle area, and scampering squirrels...this park has everything for the haggard housewife.

Ben Kasapiano

Great park. Was a beautiful day to take my dog to the dog park. Lots of very nice and friendly people. I live this park...

jake marks (zezeraf)

Beautiful park!! Big baseball field, they sometimes have movies in the park in the evenings. There is a water playground and a reasonably sized jungle gym with a sand bottom. There is a beautiful dog park renovated this year (2019). They also have have a water fountain for the dogs to drink from. LOTS OF ROOM TO LAY IN THE GRASS. ( Always look for mines before sitting ndg is VERY dog friendly

Gabriel Tulliani

A tiny bit dirty. Very open, spacious, and loaded with many playgrounds.

Nicolas P.

A nice green spot taking the entire urban block between Girouard and Marcil, Sherbrooke and Cote-Saint-Antoine, is under a very heavy recreational pressure these days and worsening, but it used to be much more quiet. Too many people and dogs per square inch!

Cat Mccat

Very nice park with playground and green space. Can bring kids here it have a picnic. Lots of restaurants around and easy to get here by public transportion. Recommend for visits in the summer when looking for a way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommend.

Dani Voorhees

Nice looking park. Not impressed at all by seeing young bums climbing all over the War Memorial as well as dealing with skate boarders farting around when they should be somewhere working and paying taxes like most of us. Where was security? Never ever saw one there patrolling at any time.

Willowspritew W

Very nice park. It seems to have recovered nicely from that storm that took down many of their big trees. It has a lovely monument for veteran, a dog park, a children's play area with splash pad. Two large grass areas for sports and skating in the winter. A general park space with lots of benches and even some exercise equipment. And free wi-fi.

Coco Sha

Nice place to take a natural break in NDG

Xavier Gauvin

Great park for everybody plenty of place to sit

allister green

It was awesome. To see people in the park happy kids playing, elderly exercise line dance class,some reading,it was a joyful atmosphere.

Gabriel Antenucci

Would love to have the chalet open on time every day as well as have the sand changed in the kids park. Been years since that happened. Otherwise a fun park for picnicking and playing with the family.

Sarah Moukahal

Great little park. Great area to walk your dog. There is space to let the dog run free. There is a space for children to play with bikes / skateboards. There is also lots of space to lay down a blanket and have a picnic or read a book. Good spot to enjoy the beautiful weather in the summer.

Maarten van Hell

Since the storm destroyed so many trees in this park, the city has made huge improvements to it and it's chalet! It's not quite finished but a fabulous transition!

Jason Hendrik

It's just ok. Getting dated and playground becoming dangerous...

Wootaeg Seo

Nice park that has dog's playground.

Ivona Sime

Love to feed the squirrels here. After the big storm, the park is not so nice without the large trees that were destroyed. But that's nature...

pierre benard

beautiful park parts of it were decimated by the tornado we had a couple of years ago they have replanted replenished redone the dog run it's beautiful

Peter Aspinall

Nicely refurbished playground, mini water park for young children, newly planted trees to replace those lost during the storm. Cenotaph refurbished, very classy job! Dog run being redone summer 2019.

Mamata kobélé keita

Sitting on the grass is fun. Sometimes, it feels like there's not enough space for everyone.

Francis Lemieux

Beautiful park. Lots of space for kids. Waterpark . Lots of trees for shade. Unfortunately the washrooms are closed due to covid19. Still, a relaxing environment.

Diana Francesca Amazon

I went to the dog park, which was very spacious. Also had a smaller dog park that can also be opened to the main one. It has chairs, large tree trunk for the adventurous dog to climb on. Many objects in the enclosure. It's not just a sandbox. More than one entrances which is great. Love this dog park. Very fun for the furry friends and their owners.

Christy Strike

This park is also full of big old trees spaced attractively, a dog park is fenced in and frequently visited where dog lovers and dogs can connect with old friends and new, a fine water park and picnic tables make for a lot of family fun in Summer. In Winter the ice skating is great fun for everyone, night and day. The sloping ground from the main red brick chalet makes for a very pleasant vantage point to people- watch the pedestrians on Sherbrooke Street. So many come to the park with a blanket to sit and dream as the clouds pass over the tall trees. Squirrels love it too. As do dogs of various sizes as long as they are on a leash. Dogs can run free in the fenced in dog park. Most importantly, the park is now home to The Vimy Ridge Monument as of 2017. Where it is placed prominently at the mouth of the park facing Sherbrooke Street, it is called Place Vimy. This park is where great memories are made.
