| - This one sure gets my vote, nicest pool in mtl, and the wading pool is pretty cool as well (if you happen to be 3 ft tall or still have one of those 2-3 yrs old bambino). Thumbs up to the administration for not having those annoying rules and regulations seen in other public pools in mtl (dark wink for the Park Decelles pool in Ville St-Laurent). Actually, can someone explain why in the Park Decelles pool a 7 yrs old kid can't use the pool springboard while there is no age regulation in other Montreal public pools? Are there sharks in the Decelles pool and we don't know about it? Anyway, back to the Laurier pool, pretty nice, has this wooden beach, there are places with shadow from trees so even though you like Red Lobster, you don't need to look like one at the end of the day, lots of showers, and a nicely confusing changing room - this shouldn't be the first time when I unwillingly get into the ladies changing room, sometimes I wonder if it's made so confusing on a purpose. Actually, one weird ( and even up to creepy) thing is that there are toilets in the family changing room, so your kids can freely enjoy and pull one of those hard to find the proper answer observations, about this guy taking a - put he's choice here - in the short height door toilet, such as dad, I just saw his underwear on the floor between his legs, yuk. (Mooment of silence). Anyway, besides the confusion with the changing rooms, and the absence of a dining tables area inside the pool, this is a very nice place to go. The pool itself it's not too crowded, staff it's polite and cool, cheap entrance fees (can someone hire the managers of the pool for the Montreal's parking fees and tickets please? For once those guys know how to find a reasonable fee without making us feel some sort of a financial molesting like when parking a car in the Sainte-Hélène so called 'public' park area at 16$ for the day. Oh, and on a nicer ending note, whats up with the young and restless watchers PACKED close to the springboard jumping area? I so need discretion when messing a jump into the pool or worst when loosing my swimwear under the water. Those critical moments are better kept private, instead one feels like being on the stage at the Carnegie Hall.
