Welcoming Westmount's Residents

The City of Westmount is committed to offering its residents a welcoming and accessible environment in which to live. It fully supports the mission of the Office des personnes handicapées du Québec (OPHQ) and works with the OPHQ and other public and community organizations to continuously improve its municipal services and reduce barriers that prevent the full participation of all members of the community.

Parks and Green Spaces

Westmount’s network of parks and green spaces represents a true wealth of natural heritage, with 12 parks, 22 green spaces and one wooded nature reserve, the majority of which were established before 1940.

Despite its urban density, Westmount’s overall landscape and greenery owes much to its location on the western slope of Mount Royal and also to the presence–within its boundaries–of one of the three peaks of the Mount-Royal heritage site. In addition, the character of many of Westmount’s parks still reflects the City’s rich horticultural and sports traditions.

Westmount also has a unique network of public staircases that provide passageways between certain streets and access to exceptional views.

The City of Westmount promotes a healthy lifestyle by encouraging its citizens to use their green spaces and public staircases as part of a health circuit and for other sports and leisure activities. Drinking fountains, available from May to October, are also provided in several parks to help you stay hydrated during your outdoor activities. We invite you to take the time to discover Westmount’s exceptional parks and unique green spaces.
