This was the first time we visited this beautiful park. The fantastic combination of the rich autumn colours with the încredible crystal blue water of the lake, all added to the pleasant warm weather made our trip memorable. What we really appreciated at this location was the playground, where the kids enjoyed the swings and the slides. So we have many reasons to recommend this park to everybody - elders, families with children and young people.
Love coming here for long walks. This place is simply perfect for walks. The endless amount of paths that will take you on a trajectory of beauty while you are walking. This is also a popular place for kissing at night. Plenty of discreet parking spots where many couples like to perform acts of closeness. The parking is better surveilled lately by the police at night.
Centennial park is a beautiful park to visit if you're in the area of Dollard-des-Ormeaux. The reason why I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5 is because of the removal of BBQs. I'm not too sure why they would remove this although I do recollect that there would be family spending the entire day hogging the spots. To make matters worse you're not allowed to bring your own charcoal or gas.
Other than that the park is beautiful and clean. You are allowed to take walks you can go running although biking is no longer allowed. During the summer they sometimes host and in the winter you can go ice skating.
The park has a path that goes all the way around a man-made lake. If you wish you can also take a path that walks up the mountain to a nice view of Dollard.
The park is dog friendly. You can let your dog run free in the fenced-off areas for dogs. You can walk your dog around the park as long as you have a leash.
The park has a small chalet with bathrooms and water fountain. The park as well has a gazebo if you want to sit in it. It's often unoccupied but in good condition with a great lake view.
Lovely area, nice open spaces for kids to run free; love the water with the ducks/geese. Popular, so does get a bit congested on nice days, but still worth a visit when the weather cooperates.
I am sure in summer this place is beautiful however at this point of the year the paths for full of ice. I almost killed myself 6 times just going to the bathroom.
We went snow-sliding for the first time, only it was more ice, we didn't go in better weather, but we didn't have an incredible time. The whole place is beautiful to walk in winter, in summer it's wonderful
