Passing by Jeanne-Mance Park in the summertime, I can always see people lying out and enjoying the sun. The charm that this park exudes was the inspiration behind this post.
In September 2024, it was announced that the Park would be getting a $27-million-dollar makeover. This makeover will span over the next two years. The renovations will include; a multi-sport field, a fenced-in dog run, a refurbished wading pool, a new splash pad, and a renovated chalet.
Fun fact about this park, it was originally a racetrack until 1820. It has been a popular location for cultural and sporting activities. The park was named in honour of the founder of Montréal’s first hospital. I hope you enjoy these interesting photographs of this historic park!
