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.

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)?

Summer: pack sunscreen, hats and water; use shaded picnic areas. Winter: dress in layers, rent skates for the children’s rink and bring sleds for snow hills.
