Saint Patrick Street (officially in French: Rue Saint-Patrick) is a street in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It runs for 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) on an east-west course (according to Montreal street directions) along the entire southern edge of the Lachine Canal. It begins at the Chemin du Musée, an extension of LaSalle Boulevard, at the canal's western entrance in the borough of Lachine, west of which it becomes the Chemin du Canal and runs along the spit of land that forms René Lévesque Park. Proceeding eastward from here, it traverses the boroughs of Lachine and LaSalle, then the neighbourhoods of Ville-Émard, Côte-Saint-Paul, and Pointe-Saint-Charles in Le Sud-Ouest, ending at Wellington Street beside the Wellington and Peel Basins on the Saint Lawrence River.

Oxford Park, Montreal
Oxford Park, Montreal

Oxford Park (French: Parc Oxford) is a park in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located in the southern part of the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighbourhood in the borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. While known informally as Oxford Park for many years, with activities operated by the Oxford Park Association, the City of Montreal formally named it the Georges-Saint-Pierre Park (French: Parc Georges-Saint-Pierre) during the 1990s in honour of the founder of the local Caisse Populaire Saint-Raymond, a community credit union. The park was made famous for its sporting tradition. Hockey greats as Doug Harvey, Howie Morenz, Kenny Mosdell and Fleming Mackell learned their crafts on the outdoor rink which was part of a larger neighbourhood house league, including such teams at Terrebonne Park, Benny Park, and Patricia Park. The park was also where boxing legend Johnny Greco played sports as a child. The park is bounded by Oxford, Upper Lachine, Old Orchard Avenue and Saint Jacques Street.The park was initially part of a farm owned by the Brodie clan, who bought the land after arriving from Scotland.After several generations the family sold to the city of Montreal in 1949 for $73,000 under the condition that the historic farmhouse would be turned into a library or facility for children. The city reneged on this clause and the stone building was demolished in the 1960s. The park was also home to a longstanding Italian Festival which was cancelled after the city added a controversial fenced-off plastic turf soccer field, which could get damaged during fireworks.

Saint-Jacques Escarpment
Saint-Jacques Escarpment

The Saint-Jacques Escarpment (French: Falaise Saint-Jacques) is a green space along an escarpment in the city of Montreal, west of downtown Montreal and adjacent to the neighbourhood of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. The wooded area stretches 3 km (2 mi) long, covering over 20 ha (49 acres).The escarpment's dense stands of poplar trees and its location between Mount Royal and the Lachine Rapids make it notable for a number of species of resident and migratory birds and a large population of brown snakes.The land at the foot of the escarpment was previously known as a body of water named "Lac St-Pierre". The lake started losing its water with the opening of the Lachine Canal in the year 1825.The escarpment had served as a dumping ground before it was purchased by the City of Montreal for use as parkland, but until 2021 it was not open to the public. Plans to allow public access were frequently delayed because parts of the slope are unstable and dangerous, and the city's desire to preserve the escarpment as a natural space conflicted with the Province of Quebec's plans for redevelopment of the Turcot Interchange, which include moving the Ville-Marie Expressway and Canadian National Railway line next to the foot of the escarpment.In 2020, the city of Montreal announced a proposal to turn much of the space into a park that would stretch nearly 2 kilometres (1.2 mi).In 2021, the 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) long park was opened to the public. The west entrance is at Sainte-Anne de Bellevue Boulevard and Brock Avenue South. The east entrance is at Rue Pullman, just northwest of the Turcot Interchange.
