Montréal is a bonafide park city, and 2024 marks the 150th anniversary of the opening of its first two major urban green spaces, Île Sainte-Hélène (now part of Parc Jean Drapeau) and the Frederick Olmstead-designed Parc La Fontaine. And while special events are planned throughout the year, there’s no finer way to commemorate this milestone than exploring and relaxing in both of these beloved urban oases.
