The Westmount Public Library is beside the park, and a free water refill station is located near it. Pack a picnic if you plan to stay, since food options in the park may be limited.
Planning a visit
Weekday mornings are a good choice if you want to avoid some of the crowds. Sunny days bring more activity to the grounds, so expect a livelier setting then. The park is suitable for a short walk or a longer stop built around play, sport or a picnic.
Washrooms are available in the chalet, though their condition has been noted as uneven. If you need a quieter break, leave the main play areas and look for one of the less busy corners along the paths.
