Mount Royal Park is turning 150, marking a milestone for the green landmark long associated with Montreal and generations of city life.

Montrealers are marking a milestone for one of the city’s defining public spaces: Mount Royal Park is turning 150.

The park, described in a CBC report as a gathering place for generations of Montrealers, remains one of the green landmarks most closely associated with the city. The anniversary places renewed attention on a public space that has served as both a local meeting ground and a symbol of Montreal’s identity.
