Parc Angrignon
Parc Angrignon
Located in southwest Montreal, this 97-hectare urban park is one of the city's largest green spaces. It is primarily used by visitors for walking, jogging, and relaxing by its 1.1-kilometer lake. The layout provides a mix of open lawns and wooded areas, offering a quiet environment away from the dense city center.
Getting There
The park is accessible from downtown Montreal via the STM metro system. Taking the Green Line to the Angrignon station provides direct access to the grounds. The trip typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the starting point in the city center.
Suggested Visit Duration
Depending on the activity, visitors should allow between 2 and 4 hours. This provides enough time to walk the perimeter of the lake and explore the various walking paths throughout the park.
When to Visit
The park is most active during the spring, summer, and autumn. It can become crowded on weekends and during public holidays when local residents use the space for picnics and recreation. Early mornings are generally quieter for those seeking a peaceful walk.
