Dieppe Park may be small, but it delivers some of the best views in the city. Perched on the eastern tip of Cité du Havre, this 7-hectare stretch of green juts into the St. Lawrence, offering a panoramic look at the Old Port, downtown skyline, and the iconic Jacques Cartier Bridge. It’s a prime spot for photographers, cyclists, and anyone looking to catch the Montreal Fireworks Festival from an unbeatable angle. The park’s belvederes provide a front-row seat to the river’s steady traffic, from cruise ships docking at Alexandra Quay to surfers tackling a standing wave that runs alongside Habitat 67, a reminder of Expo-era innovation, while picnic tables and open spaces make it an underrated escape from the city’s bustle. Whether you’re here for sunrise solitude or summer-night crowds, Dieppe Park is proof that location is everything.
