Parc Jean-drapeau hiking , Montréal, Quebec, Canada

A great park to bike around and relax crack a couple of beers in the sun! Always events going down, they have a lot of parks and sights to see. Along with a swimming pool and the F1 track. It’s only getting 4 because there is always road work going on! But welcome to Montreal.

We really enjoyed our free Sunday Bixi Bike ride here! We arrived over one bridge and left on a another and visited the whole island, riding or walking. There are a lot of paths for both. There is art and a cute museum and the Biosphere which has a good exhibit outside even if you decide not to go into the main museum. Really pretty spot to hang out around the fountain/pool outside when it's sunny. A great view of the city from the island also. There is an amusement park if that's your thing as well. We had a lovely day and I recommend doing this either as a local or tourist.

I have visited this park several times. The biosphere is a great place for kids of all ages. This is also the site for Heavy Montreal, an outdoor heavy metal festival which is great fun! The site is very well maintained with more than adequate amenities.

I thought the park was fabulous at first.... BUT there are no bikes for rent!! Plus there is no signage to indicate where to walk for the bridge over the Habitat 67. And there are huge barricades to walk back around if you happen to go the wrong direction, easily adding 1km+ to your adventure. It does have a lot of information surrounding the biosphere on environmental challenges facing Canadian ecosystems which is important and in good repair.
