Snowkite

Parc Jarry is a large urban park in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough of Montreal. In winter, the vast snowy spaces of the park offer accessible terrain for urban snowkiting.

The park is flat and open, perfect for snowkite beginners. Easily accessible by public transit (De Castelnau metro). Winds from all directions work in this open space. One of the few urban snowkite spots in Quebec. Rideable from December to March depending on snow cover.
