With its green expanses, sweeping views and heritage buildings, Mount Royal Park is often the first place that comes to mind when planning a gathering, shooting a movie or holding a meeting.
Because Mount Royal Park is part of the Mount Royal Heritage Site, certain rules must be respected to preserve this magnificent jewel and iconic Montréal site. Before organizing a picnic in the park, for instance, read our FAQ and find out about services provided in the park.
