- Montreal boasts many parks over 100 acres each
- Some of the outlying city parks like Parc Nature du Cap Saint-Jacques (shown here) offer wooded landscapes similar to Quebec's natural "boreal forest" ecosystem
- Other parks, like the famous Parc Mont Royal, are landscaped and offer attractions like skating (in the winter!), concerts, fountains, playground equipment, tennis courts, and so on
- Perhaps the "glue" that holds this diverse city together is its outstanding open space
