Des Bassins Place, Waterfront park at the Lachine Canal National Historic Site in Montreal, Canada.
Des Bassins Place offers maintained green lawns, flower beds, and open views along the Lachine Canal, providing space for picnicking, walking, and cycling on adjacent pathways.
The Lachine Canal, completed in the 1820s, enabled trade and shipping through Montreal, and Des Bassins Place now preserves industrial structures with interpretive markers explaining the waterway's former role.
The park serves as a community gathering spot where locals and visitors enjoy outdoor meals, recreational cycling, jogging, and relaxed walks along the canal's edge throughout the year.
The site is open daily from 6 am to 11 pm and is accessible via metro Green Line to Angrignon station or bus route 107 from downtown Montreal.
Des Bassins Place combines preserved industrial heritage with active recreational use, allowing visitors to observe functioning canal locks and historic infrastructure while enjoying green spaces along the water.
