Parc Frédéric-Back (open-sky run and ride)
For wide-open, big-sky running away from any crowds, this reclaimed park in the north end is a find. A former quarry and landfill turned into a vast, rolling green expanse with broad paths, it's quiet, exposed, and great for an uninterrupted run or a BIXI ride, with the white biogas spheres dotting the hills as a strange backdrop. It's away from the centre, so it's never busy. A different, open kind of session.
A former quarry-and-landfill transformed into a vast rolling green park with wide paths — open-sky running and cycling, quiet and uncrowded, in the north end.
