Architectural complex including the stadium, the swimming center and the Velodrome, signed by the architect Roger Taillibert.

On May 12, 1970, the International Olympic Committee announced that the city would host the Games of the XXI Olympiad, in the summer of 1976. The race against time began. It was then that the Olympic Park was built, an unparalleled architectural ensemble comprising the Stadium, the Swimming Centre and the Velodrome, all designed by French architect Roger Taillibert. Funnily enough, the stadium tower, the world's tallest inclined tower, was completed well after the Games, in 1987. After remaining empty for almost 30 years, the tower was converted into office space. Today, it's possible to visit the stadium, climb to the top of the Tour de Montréal for an exceptional panorama (the world's tallest inclined tower, at 165 metres and 45 degrees - reopening in September 2024 after renovation work), and attend a host of events and shows, both in the stadium and on the esplanade redeveloped for the cause. There's also a sports center, skate park and snow park, not to mention a host of nearby attractions, including four of Espace pour la Vie's five museum institutions (Biodôme, Insectarium, Botanical Garden and Planetarium) and Saputo Stadium, home to professional soccer team CF Montréal, a member of MLS (North America's premier soccer league). The L'Insolite bistro serves food and sandwiches on site. And as early as spring 2025, a suspended footbridge is scheduled to open! In short, a place for all-season activities.

J'ai bien apprécié ce parc olympique notamment pour sa tour penchée qui est très design et surtout originale !
Vous pourrez même prendre un ascenseur pour y monter. Toutefois, le tarif reste élevé.

Un très bel endroit, à l'architecture qui parait toujours futuriste malgré sa construction il y a plusieurs dizaines d'années.

Parc olympique et jardin botanique
Il vous faudra prendre le métro ou les vélos pour vous y rendre. Attention à la tour inclinée au dessus du stade qui est fermée pour travaux cet été. D’autres attractions sont à proximité dont le jardin botanique.
