Mount Royal Park sits on the hills of Mount Royal. It is popular with tourists and locals. It is just lovely. If you are anywhere in the area, it is a must see.
Parking is easy and you can hike to the top of the summit if you want. The best views of the City are from the top of the park. It is amazing.
It is a tad more crowded during the summer with many a local having a picnic lunch and hikers making the short trek to the top. It is never over crowded though and the locals are so friendly.
On top of the great park and the views they have a restaurant with a view on Beaver Lake. The food is quite good and families are welcome.
