La Fontaine Park, Urban park in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Canada.
The 40-hectare park features two artificial ponds connected by a waterfall, multiple walking paths, gardens, and extensive green spaces in Montreal.
The park, established in 1874, was named after Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine, a Canadian lawyer who served as Prime Minister of the United Province of Canada.
The Theatre de Verdure presents outdoor performances of dance, music, and cinema, while Espace La Fontaine hosts art exhibitions throughout the year.
The park maintains three ice rinks in winter, tennis courts, baseball fields, petanque grounds, and a children's pool during summer operating hours.
Multiple monuments decorate the grounds, including memorials to French Canadian soldiers, Dollard des Ormeaux, Felix Leclerc, and Charles de Gaulle.
