Although it is not being used today, as there is a new Port of Montreal adjacent to it, still the place is good for strolling, biking, jogging, walking, etc… and still this brings a lot of people everyday. The serenity is supplemented by the fresh air and cool breeze from the ocean which makes the place even more attractive especially in the morning when the sun starts to rise and in the afternoon when it is about to set.

There are more than 2 million people who go to this park every year–it includes tourists and locals. Cyclists and skaters are mostly the ones that occupy this park everyday but of course, there are those who jog and walk especially in the morning or before the sun sets. One thing about this place is that, it is well-known for its fitness facilities which can be accessed anytime.
