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.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: This lets couples picnic, stroll the 3.1 km loop, and try a BIXI ride at a relaxed pace.
Picnic on central lawns:
Spread a blanket in a grassy area near mature trees beside the Olympic Tower.
Tip: Arrive before noon on weekends to claim a picnic table; bring a refillable water bottle.
Stroll the 3.1 km loop:
Walk or jog the paved loop around the park’s main section.
Tip: Start at the chalet and circle clockwise for consistent lighting and better photos.
BIXI bike ride:
Rent a BIXI bike to circle the loop faster and cover more ground.
Tip: Use the BIXI app to unlock a bike near the Botanical Garden; plan for a 30-minute ride.

Park Maisonneuve is an absolute gem! The serene atmosphere and lush greenery make it a perfect escape from the city’s hustle. There’s plenty of space to relax, enjoy nature, or have a peaceful picnic with family and friends. The walking trails are well-maintained and offer beautiful views, ideal for a calming stroll. It’s also family-friendly with plenty of spots for kids to play. I highly recomme...

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.
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.
