Parc La Fontaine, with its 40 hectares of greenery, is a public urban park in the borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal in Montreal. Originally a farm, Parc La Fontaine was transformed into a public park in the 1870s. It has since become a wonderful patch of green space surrounded by trendy bars and restaurants in the middle of the Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood. Today Parc La Fontaine serves as a community gathering place for people to socialize, appreciate nature, partake in leisure sports such as tennis and skating, and fully enjoy Montréal’s bohemian vibe in park's outdoor concerts and festivities.
