Trail description

What the City of Montréal publishes

Jarry Park is at 205 rue Gary-Carter. The City of Montréal, which runs it, opens it every day from 6 a.m. to midnight. The City publishes no admission fee and no trail distance for this park.

Work under way

According to the City's article, updated October 7, 2026, the trail network is being redeveloped from October to December 2026 around the central plain, near the boulevard Saint-Laurent and rue Gary-Carter entrances: connecting informal paths, rebuilding damaged ones, replacing street furniture and adding grassed areas. The City writes that trail repair work is under way in different sectors of the park. The two basketball courts near rue Jarry Ouest are also being resurfaced, from October 2026 to June 2027. The article does not say which sectors are closed; it points to a map of the work zones.

Services and facilities

  • Picnic areas, a drinking fountain, a children's play module and toilets.
  • A basketball court, a ping-pong table and a volleyball court; nearby, baseball and soccer fields, tennis courts (Stade IGA) and beach volleyball.
  • A pool (205 rue Gary-Carter) and a wading pool (7920 boulevard Saint-Laurent) are listed; the page gives neither hours nor rates.

  • In winter: a toboggan run, outdoor skating rinks and a cross-country ski track are listed, and an equipment rental counter opens on weekends.

Dogs and the dog park

The City's general rule for its parks: dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash. The Jarry Park dog park is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.; the City says it is close to the pool, on the rue Gary-Carter side, and that your dog must wear its licence tag to use it. It publishes no leash rule for the inside of the dog park.

Parking and transit

The City's page covers neither parking nor public transit, so it does not say whether parking is free or paid.

Unconfirmed

The City publishes no walking-circuit distance, elevation gain, duration, difficulty, admission fee, or information on parking or transit for this park.
