Parc Jean-Drapeau

A lovely and lively place to be for the city's most exciting events. Just the weekend we were there, there was a eureka festival and an edm festival the day before. The biking in the grand prix circuit was also fun and surreal for my husband who is a fan. It's ideal if you can bike around since the park is huge. Easy access from metros too.

I spent 4 months in Montreal and went frequently there, even did a helicopter tour above. That’s really a gem in the city. I love the fact it is such easy to access with the metro. There are a lot of music events during the summer. Truly the best place to admire the city in my opinion.

It's such a beautiful place. There's so much to see. The flowers are beautiful. There's also this enormous blue chair that's really cool. I simply went there to enjoy the clamness of the afternoon and had no idea a that the Biosphere Museum was near by. I was pleasantly surprised. I absolutely enjoyed going there and intend to go back soon.

A very big and beautiful park with great views of the city and harbour. They've been making many renovations to update the park's infrastructure, buildings, and landscape features.I definitely recommend coming here during the weekdays when it's quiet to explore the many trails and gardens.

I had some trouble figuring out how to get here with all the construction. The first parking lot I tried did not have a working parking payment station. It was interesting once we got to the biosphere. A short walk on the promenade got us a great view of old Montreal and St. Lawrence River. More research will be required to make better use of the park next time!!

Had a pleasant bike ride through Parc Jean-Drapeau on a sunny day in early May 2023. Large multi purpose lush park with many venues, sculptures, commemorative monuments and a well maintained hike and bike trail. A metro station serves the park. Perfect place to spend a day in Montréal.

Visited this place on the way to biosphere. I'm so glad to have come here to watch the breathtaking sunset with my friend. It was so calm and peaceful. Good spot for fishing too!

Jean drapeau park is a beautiful and accessible place for everyone to enjoy. There are lots of areas for picnics, a park, lots of trees and shade. As well it is accessible from the metro, by bus, by car (jacques Cartier bridge) or by water. La Ronde theme park is also located there as well as the large Jean Drapeau Pool and the Biosphere museum. There are also many festivals hosted on the island throughout the summer (Osheaga music festival, eurkea science festival, picnic Electronik to name a few). Public transport is highly recommended to access the island and it's stunning views of the city of Montreal and st Lawrence river. Parking is limited and costly. A beautiful place to visit however right between the south shore and island of Montreal.

So beautiful! It is even a dream especially in the snow. The place is not crowded in the winter and you can see Montreal vieux port from there. The best timing is going there after rush hour or before rush hour. It gets really heavy on the road on the bridge that leads you to the park. Paid parking is available everywhere. The lights from the vieux MontrealIn front of the island are so beautiful. Another thing, usually during busy times there is a restaurent in there. Restrooms are open all year long.

Expensive Parking $8/hr $14 for 2 hrsThat is insane. Lack of signage, noise from the construction/renovations. Easy to get lost. Not worth it. I get more by walking to the Mont Royal & sit by the pond for free than pay $15 to sit in a bench facing the Saint Lawrence river. It was relaxing thought to sit on the wooden chairs It is therapeutic to listen to the water movement.
