Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Park, a verdant jewel in the heart of Montreal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal, provides a dynamic community space and a tranquil retreat from city life. Spanning 10.8 hectares (27 acres), the park is bordered by Laurier Avenue East, De Brébeuf Street, Saint Grégoire Street, and De Mentana Street. Named after Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada's seventh Prime Minister, the park has been a focal point of the neighborhood since 1925. Historically, the area was part of a network of limestone quarries, a legacy reflected in the park's design. Today, it features a blend of recreational facilities and green spaces, making it a year-round destination. In the summer, visitors can enjoy a public swimming pool, baseball and soccer fields, a dog park, and a playground. The Laurier Centre serves as a hub for community activities. A north-south bicycle path crosses the park, inviting cyclists to explore its length. Public art adds a cultural dimension, including a statue of Queen Isabella of Castile, a gift from Spain commemorating Columbus' discovery of America. During winter, the park transforms into a snowy playground with outdoor skating rinks. The Laurier Centre becomes a cozy cottage for skaters. Whether for sports, relaxation, or community events, Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Park encapsulates the spirit of Montreal's Plateau, offering something for everyone.
