Trail description
What the City of Montréal publishes
La Fontaine Park is at 3819 avenue Calixa-Lavallée, in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough. The City of Montréal, which runs it, opens it every day from 6 a.m. to midnight, with no seasonal change listed. The City publishes no admission fee and no trail distance for this park.
Services and facilities
- Children's play areas, open all year (the City advises caution during frost).
- Picnic areas and two pétanque courts, available during the park's opening hours.
- Drinking fountains, free Wi-Fi and a snack bar.
- Temporary toilets from May to October; the City does not mention permanent washrooms.
- Accessibility: stroller-friendly access, a ramp, accessible parking and a drop-off zone.
In winter
The City lists outdoor skating rinks, including a rink on the park pond, and two classic-style cross-country ski tracks of 2.2 km and 3 km. A Patin Patin counter in the chalet lends an adapted ski sled (Agilex) free of charge against valid ID; the City does not publish skate rental prices.
Dogs
The City is clear: all dogs must be on a leash in its parks, without exception. Owners who ignore the rule face fines of up to $600. A dog park is listed at the same address; the City's page gives neither its hours nor its rules.
Barbecues
Charcoal barbecues are banned. Gas (propane or butane) is allowed; under the City's general rule, only in designated picnic areas.
Parking and transit
The City's page mentions reserved spaces (permit required), accessible parking and a drop-off zone, but does not say whether parking is free or paid. It gives no public transit information.
At the time of writing (November 10, 2026)
The main fountain is not working; its rehabilitation is listed by the City as currently in design.
Unconfirmed
The City publishes no walking-circuit distance, elevation gain, duration, difficulty, admission fee, parking rates or transit access for this park.
