The City of Montreal says it is planning to create the largest urban park in Canada — in the West Island.
Mayor Valérie Plante says when the 3,000 hectare park is finished, it will be eight times large than New York’s Central Park and 15 times bigger than the Mount Royal Park in downtown Montreal.

She calls the project the most important conservation effort since Mount Royal Park was built 150 years ago.
“We are completely changing the nature and spirit of the West Island,” Plante said. “We are taking decisions with the future of the city and agglomeration in mind.”
