The creek, visible at last
The park brings the watercourse forward around a pool. You’ll be able to walk up to it, hear it and watch it flow.

The restorative park.
At the foot of the project, along Provost Creek, a public garden open to the whole community: a pool, stones to sit on, paths under the trees and a corner of nature in the heart of Outremont.

A place for the whole neighbourhood.
A garden to explore
Stepping stones to follow, big stones to sit on, water to watch: a corner of nature where children can play, a few steps from home.
A shared place to unwind
A bench, shade and quiet. A place where residents and neighbours cross paths, talk and take their time.
The park is a public part of the project. It belongs to the life of the neighbourhood as much as to the twenty families who will live here.
The CCU asks for an agreement with the borough guaranteeing citizens free access to the areas near the creek, before the building permit is even issued.
The design follows the natural environments by-law (RMUN): a 10-metre riparian strip stays free of any construction.
