Westmount Park
Corner Sherbrooke and Melville
1,141,002 sq. ft - 26.19 acres
Second in size but first in popularity, Westmount Park is central to many City events and programs. As the city's first public park, it has also established itself as a landmark within Westmount.
Formally assembled between 1892 and 1898, Westmount Park was left in its natural state until 1912, when M.J. Howard Manning undertook the landscaping for the City. The park was laid out in the spirit of Frederick Law Olmsted - landscape architect for Mont Royal Park and New York's Central Park - following the natural streams, ravines and wooded areas on the site. A more formal arrangement of the foot paths, fountains, ponds and borders was made in the twenties, which the present day scheme resembles closely.
Today, its 26 acres contain a wading pool, extensive playground, beautiful floral plantings, three baseball diamonds, a playing field, and clay and hard-surface tennis courts.
A serpentine waterway flows gently beneath aged willows and past shady benches.
The Westmount Arena and swimming pool lie at its southwest corner, with the Library and Victoria Hall in the northwest. |
