The project included several notable improvements: new universally accessible bleachers, tree planting for shade, installation of a synthetic cushioning surface made of green rubber granules, upgrading of football goals and sports equipment, and modernization of the LED lighting system, which is more energy-efficient and neighborhood-friendly.

Misters complete the layout to counteract the heat.

In parallel, special attention was given to sustainable rainwater management with the addition of bioretention basins, surface swales, and underground basins, reducing the risk of overflow in the surrounding streets.

In addition to the redevelopment of the multisport field, a temporary dog park has been set up near the volleyball courts, while the modernization of the wading pool and the park chalet will continue until 2026.

A Strategic Investment for the Community

The inauguration of this new sports facility is much more than a simple upgrade.

It is the result of rigorous planning and budget allocation that highlights the priority given to the quality of life of Montrealers.

Social Impact and Increased Attractiveness

The initial feedback is already eloquent.

Attendance statistics show a notable increase in the number of users, with an estimated more than 10,000 additional visitors per year, attracted by the quality of the new facilities.

This increased attendance has a positive social impact.

It encourages physical activity, strengthens intergenerational bonds, and offers a meeting place where families, athletes, and passersby mingle.

The impact on public health is undeniable.

By making physical activity accessible and attractive, the city invests in disease prevention and the general well-being of its citizens.

The new facilities, suitable for basketball, volleyball, and futsal, meet a growing demand for free and accessible sports infrastructure.

Economic Benefits and Development Model 

Economically, the park's revitalization acts as a catalyst.

The increase in attendance has direct repercussions on the surrounding local businesses (cafes, restaurants, sports shops), stimulating a local economy and creating synergy between public space and the private sector.

This project at Jeanne-Mance Park is a compelling example of how targeted investment in public infrastructure can generate a positive domino effect on the entire community.

It perfectly illustrates the vision of urban development that goes beyond construction, aiming to create vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive environments.

For residential real estate and urban development stakeholders, this initiative should serve as a reference, demonstrating that green and recreational spaces are essential components of a prosperous and desirable neighborhood.

They are not an expense but a profitable investment for the future of our city.
