Grand Parc de l'Ouest
(Redirected from Grand Parc de L’Ouest)
Grand Parc de l'Ouest is a planned park along the north shore of the western part of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The plan is to combine the following into one large park:[1]
- L'Anse-à-l'Orme Nature Park
- Bois-de-l'Île-Bizard Nature Park
- Bois-de-la-Roche Agricultural Park
- Cap-Saint-Jacques Nature Park
- Rapides du Cheval Blanc Park
- Various areas of interest located in boroughs or related municipalities
The combined area will be over 700 hectares (1,700 acres). It has the potential to become Canada's largest municipal park.
Among its aims are to protect natural environments and to preserve biodiversity
