La Fontaine Park is definitely the most romantic park Montreal has to offer. With a gorgeous fountain in the centre of the park, hence the name, it sets the scene for a very beautiful evening.

2. Square Saint-Louis

This little park is definitely one of the cutest hidden areas in the Plateau. If you walk East on Prince-Arthur you're going to run into this adorable square. It has a gorgeous fountain in the centre, is surrounded by greenery and there's some colourful Plateau houses all around it.
The park also features the building pictured above which becomes a cafe/gelato shop during the summer months! So if you don't have the cooking skills, bring your girlfriend here and buy her a coffee and a gelato instead.
3. Parc du Mont-Royal

This one may already be a no-brainer for most of you, but I just had to mention it. Mont-Royal is an amazing park on top of the hill over-looking the entire city of Montreal. How much more romantic of a setting can you get? Pack a nice meal and spend a few hours watching the sunset go down.
4. Parc Outrement

This park is a little smaller than those mentioned above, but just as beautiful. It also has a large fountain, which is the main feature of the park. It is an extremely romantic setting with large willow trees over the water, and bright flowers.
This park is sure to impress that special someone!

Maissoneuve is an amazing park with views of Montreal's Olympic Stadium. It has an abundance of picnic tables if you and your girlfriend don't feel like sitting on the ground the whole time. It's an urban oasis, located just far enough from the city to enjoy a peaceful dinner just the two of you.
With trails and a community garden there's so many things to explore here as well!

Av du Parc & Avenue du Mont-Royal
This park is prime picnic location. It's located right across the street from Mont-Royal. It features lots of areas for sports, like a giant baseball diamond and beach volleyball courts! So if you and your girlfriend want to double date, bring another couple and play a competitive game of beach volleyball before settling down for a nice meal together.
8. Parc Jean Drapeau

Parc Jean Drapeau is a huge park located just a short metro ride away from downtown Montreal. Once you get there you'll see why this park makes the cut. It's so huge and has so many amazing things going on all the time! It has a giant pool, it's own beach, and is home to a festival every weekend of the festival!
So if you're looking for a quiet place here, try to avoid this one during the weekends. But during the weekdays it's the perfect romantic spot, with many secluded areas for a picnic!
