About
Parc Angrignon is a large, free outdoor option for families who want room to move. The City of Montréal describes 97 hectares of forest, clearings, and a lake that stretches about 1. 1 kilometres.
Official amenities include a children's play structure, a separate toddler play structure, picnic areas, barbecues, a drinking fountain, toilets, and both free and paid parking. That mix makes the park useful for anything from a quick playground stop to a longer walk and picnic.
Toddlers and younger school-age children get the clearest built-in activities from the two playground areas. Older children can explore paths, observe the lake and trees, or take part in seasonal recreation. In snowy conditions, the city lists a sledding track, an easy three-kilometre snowshoe trail, and cross-country ski routes of several lengths.
These facilities are seasonal and can be closed when conditions are poor, so families should check their live status before carrying equipment to the park.
Parents should also know what is no longer available. The former small farm and children's fun fort are closed. Current city notices describe work affecting parts of the park, including a temporary obstruction on the main path near the Pavillon de l'Étang.
A ramp has been provided for pedestrians, cyclists, and people with reduced mobility, but the city does not label the park as stroller-friendly. Several pavilions are under renovation. The Pavillon de la Forêt and a temporary reception pavilion remain open, offering toilets and a heated place to warm up, while other pavilion areas are inaccessible.
Check the separate pavilion page for current hours.
The park itself has no official schedule posted. It is mainly an outdoor destination, so rain, heat, deep snow, or muddy paths can change the experience. A dry morning works well for the playground and a loop near the water.
Pack food if you want to stay for lunch because the official listing names picnic and barbecue facilities but no concession. There is no admission charge, although parking may cost depending on the lot or space selected.

Plan Your Visit
Best Time to Visit
Visit on a dry morning for playground time and walking. In winter, check the official facility status before bringing sleds, skis, or snowshoes.
Wait Times
There is no admission or ticket line. The city does not publish a crowd or parking wait estimate.
Nearby Food
The park has picnic and barbecue areas and a drinking fountain. The official page does not list a restaurant or food concession, so bring food or research an offsite meal separately.
Why Kids Love It
Children can choose between separate toddler and children's play structures, explore forest clearings and paths near the long lake, picnic, and try seasonal snow activities when facilities are open.
