One of Montreal's most popular parks is about to undergo a major makeover over the next couple of years.

The City of Montreal announced in a press release that it's investing $27 million into revamping Jeanne-Mance Park, which is located in the heart of the city, serving as a gateway to Mount Royal.

"These transformations aim to preserve the soul of the park while making it more accessible and enjoyable for all generations," said Luc Rabouin, mayor of the Plateau–Mont-Royal borough and chair of the City of Montreal's executive committee, in the release.

The modernization project is set to include the following upgrades and added features:

A more accessible multi-sport field;
Redevelopment of the chalet (welcome centre);
Reconstruction of the wading pool;
Redevelopment of the dog park;
Redeveloped pathways;
New furniture and plantings, including large trees;
New play fountains.

In terms of specifics, the chalet (aka welcome centre) is being prepared to house universally accessible changing rooms and bathrooms. This includes replacing the windows and upgrading the building's mechanical systems.

Meanwhile, those who use the multi-sport playing field can expect lower fences, misting devices, new, universally accessible bleachers, and a better lighting system with remote controls.

Eventually, the synthetic surface is also set to be replaced by one designed to reduce heat islands and injuries.

The dog park, which is currently not fenced in, will be getting a fence when it temporarily moves to the park's southern sector near the volleyball courts. In the future, a permanent dog park redevelopment is planned elsewhere in Jeanne-Mance Park.
