Outremont Park is a quiet, elegant retreat with just enough charm to feel like a hidden gem. Once a pond fed by a mountain stream, this space was transformed into the borough’s first public park in 1912, thanks to land donated by the Clerics of Saint-Viateur. Today, it remains one of Montreal’s most picturesque small parks, with manicured gardens, a tranquil pond, and a footbridge that’s become a favourite backdrop for photo shoots. Benches line the walking paths, offering a shaded spot to take in the scenery, while the surrounding streets showcase some of Outremont’s most beautiful architecture. Just a short stroll away, Saint-Viateur Park adds to the appeal, offering a livelier atmosphere with its own water feature and a prime location near some of the city’s best cafés. Together, the two parks make for a perfect escape in this refined corner of the city.
