The autumnal equinox for the Northern Hemisphere occurs on Saturday September 23, 2023 which is considered to mark the end of summer. For reasons involving milestones I'm scheduling this event 11 days previously on Tuesday September 12, 2023 at 17h30.
Guided by criteria which stipulated that it be central to Westmount, the location of the park was identified in 1892. Its inception was a small terrain originally earmarked for a Corporation Yard. In 1912 the park was revamped in the spirit of Frederick Law Olmsted – landscape architect for Mont Royal Park and New York’s Central Park – following the natural streams, ravines and wooded areas on the site. A more formal arrangement of the foot paths, fountains, ponds and borders was made in the twenties, which the present day scheme resembles closely.
Today, its 26 acres contain a wading pool, extensive playground, beautiful floral plantings, three baseball diamonds, a playing field, and clay and hard-surface tennis courts.
Notably the recreation center has a small restaurant in it serving sandwiches and ice cream. We can sit outside if the weather is nice and enjoy ice cream together. Or we can shelter under the eaves if it's raining and have a hot coffee (or even gather inside and watch amateur hockey). No purchase will be necessary as there are benches and outside the restaurant's area but they usually aren't concerned about people using their tables anyways.

Nearest stops are for the 90 and 63 but it's not far from the 24 and 37 and a number of other buses. It's about 12 minute walk from Vendome and 17 minute walk from Atwater.
