It was also used for concerts so many concerts it was magical every weekend next to the pool listening to the likes of stevie ray vaughan , the eurymics , huey lewis and the news , genesis and so many more lots to remember montreal summer life.
if you could imagine go to the pol go swimming and listen to a great rock group was a fine day out.

moving east we come to the man made swamp actually pretty nice takes up a good portion of the park but hey nature in the middle of a city like the mountain and is right next to you the montreal allouettes also practiced here they had their own spot just south of the pool which is now part of the dog park now which is accommodating for dog people they cant run loose in the park anymore and have to be on a leash how things have changed.

hey! yeah an oasis in the big city and so many activities :)) i remember guys like Mad Dog Vachon , Killer Kowalski, Abdullah the Butcher, Andre The Giant ,Macho Man and many more a lot of them just walked around town :) one time i was taking the bus going somewhere and The Great Antonio got on, so funny when he stepped on the bus it did a 45 degree wave i thought we were going roll over he sat in the first seat opposite side of the chauffeur first time i ever witnessed a city bus driving down the street with the driver side on an angle about two feet higher than the other side where he sat lol when he got off it actually bounced hahaha im sure that bus will never be the same again :)))
oh wow! it must've been such a sight.. :P
yeah life was much simpler then, all the events during those times were was all amazing always looking forward to whats next :))) its all about tennis now ... but the swamp is nice :)))
Thank you for up-voting me.

Is it permissible to put bicycles into the park, because where I am there is a park like that, it is not allowed to use bicycles and other vehicles in the park environment.
yes bikes are allowed but no cars
Oh yes, bicycles are not allowed at my place
Hi, I skimmed your post. I fornd it very interesting. the picture is awesome. your Montreal summer memories so much incredible! the Poolside concerts with legendary bands, Expos games, and the most important is the WWF cage matches - that park must have been buzzing with activity back in the day. The soccer players, tennis courts, and dog park all show how it's adapting to new uses. The fountains are indescribable. It sounds like a nice addition, and who knows, maybe there are some fish in the pond! Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures on the other side of the park!. your work is awesome. try to improve it. We are waiting for a more interesting post. with best regards @ubaidkhan
Beautiful and clean park my friend
