Site of Expo 67, now home to Osheaga, Île Soniq, Festival du Monde, Fireworks Festival, Piknic Électronik, the Biosphere (American Expo67 exhibit converted into an eco-museum) and the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (i.e., the F1 track that is open for cycling when not in use for race cars). Also a great outdoor pool for 50 metre laps in the summer. And outdoor yoga at the Calder statue looking out onto the Fleuve St-Laurent, for those so inclined. The path to the park passes in front of the Safdie Habitat 67 apartment complex. Check the park website for more info, or ask us!
