Westmount Park is the city’s answer to a perfectly curated green space—landscaped, historic, and meticulously maintained. Spanning 26 acres, this park has been a centrepiece of the borough since 1892, with its design inspired by Frederick Law Olmsted, the mind behind Mount Royal and Central Park. A winding stream, shaded by weeping willows, flows past benches and footpaths, creating a setting that feels both refined and deeply inviting. Sports facilities include tennis courts, soccer fields, and baseball diamonds, while chess tables, ping-pong tables, and a floral clock add a touch of charm. The Westmount Recreation Centre, with its underground ice rinks and pool, keeps the park active year-round, while the Public Library and Victoria Hall Community Centre anchor its cultural side. Whether for a quiet walk, a lively game, or a moment of stillness by the water, Westmount Park remains one of the city’s most elegant public spaces.
