What makes it 84% Couple-Friendly: Couples can picnic under mature trees, rent BIXI bikes, skate by Olympic Tower at night; scenery is romantic, yet summer crowds and few secluded areas cut the intimacy a bit.

Positives:

  • Metro access: Take Pie-IX or Viau Metro to reach the park within minutes on a single fare.
  • No admission fee: Enjoy all main park features without paying an entry fee.
  • Evening safety: The loop is well-lit after dark, making it safe for a sunset stroll.

Challenges:

  • BIXI availability: Docks may fill up on weekends; reserve a bike through the app or arrive early.
  • Limited shade: Few shaded benches in the central lawns; bring sun protection on hot days.
  • Rink schedule: The skate oval opens only when conditions allow; check the City of Montréal site before visiting in winter.

Such a beautiful park. Great place to bring kids for bday parties or even for a day in the sun to have a picnic. There's definitely plenty of space to play sports.. pretty much anything. Winter time you can come here to go skating. There's a chalet with bathrooms and vending machines as well.

My only complaint is the bike VS pedestrian paths are not clearly defined, so people walk in the bike path, which is dangerous especially with speeding bikes, and bikes take the walking path, they need to install markers that clearly state which path is for what purpose, otherwise the walk through the park and back is a nice 3KM, easily done in about half an hour, even with a kid, many places to r...

What a wonderfully vast green sprawl to be found in the East part of Montreal. No need to worry about bumping into people here. Everyone can find and treasure many corners of this space. Picnic tables and benches are available, however, more would be welcomed. Payable parking can be found by the Sherbrooke entrance near the chalet. Toilets are also finally re-opened. Some free parking can be...

Simply amazing, you can pique-nique, exercise, meet with friends. The only cons I see is the bathroom, there are not many in the park, you have to walk long distance and not sure if they are open.

When is the best time to visit Maisonneuve Park (Montreal, Canada)?

In spring, spot cherry blossoms near the chalet. Summer mornings stay cooler under the tree canopy. In autumn, see vibrant leaves along the loop in October. Winter transforms the oval into a free skating rink—rent skates nearby or bring your own.
