About this place Parc La Fontaine

Parc La Fontaine, in the Plateau just north of the Gay Village, has long had a few semi-secluded corners used for cruising in warm weather. The spot people mention most is the wooded area behind the ball fields near the park chalet. In the day it's a busy family park, so anything that happens is late and discreet. As at Mont-Royal, the scene has thinned a lot in recent years, so treat it as a low-key possibility rather than a reliable spot. The park is surrounded by homes, so keep quiet and respect the neighbours, and take the usual care with your safety at night.

I’ve been to this park both summer and winter and here is what I think: In the summer, it’s the perfect spot for a walk or a picnic while soaking in the beautiful surroundings. The open spaces and peaceful atmosphere make it a great place to relax and unwind. In the winter, the lake transforms into a stunning ice-skating rink that stretches along the landscape. While I had a great time skating, I did notice that the rink’s condition wasn’t the best. There were branches and small holes in some areas, which made it a bit challenging to skate smoothly. I’m not sure if this was just an issue on the day I visited or if it’s a common thing, but it’s something to keep in mind. Despite that, I definitely plan to return! There’s also an additional rink near the lake that looked very cool and seemed to offer a smoother surface. One thing I really appreciated is the building nearby that has a restaurant, equipment rental, and free lockers to store your belongings. Just make sure to bring your own lock if you want to use the lockers. Overall, it’s a fantastic park in every season, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

Perfect place for ice skating in the winter or a picnic during the summer.

Oh, it's a great spot for ice skating on a small lake. There's plenty of space even on a day off. It was fantastic, I recommend it to anyone who loves skating and is tired of skating in circles.
