This is a beautiful city park and I highly recommend that one visits on Sundays to witness Tam-Tam, a cultural event that has taken place in Montreal since the 1970s. You'll find an eclectic mix of individuals, from backpackers to hippies to hipsters and even a few families. Marijuana use is ubiquitous if not encouraged and a communal vibe pervades the atmosphere. Drum circle bands is the main draw. Feel free to bring a blanket and/or a frisbee or soccer ball or a good book. This is also a great place for groups.
