What travelers say:

Mr. Jean Drapeau, a lawyer and politician who served as mayor of Montreal in the 1950s, was named after him. The park consists of le Sainte-Hélène and the nearby Notre Dame Island (le Notre-Dame), which hosted the 1967 Expo and still retains some of the buildings of the time. The big ball on the island is the site of the Expo's American Pavilion, which is now used as a hydrological pavilion. There is also a small museum in the park, Stewart, whose collection of literature and maps showcase Montreal's earliest history and culture. The Formula 1 race here every summer attracts many car friends to see the style of the racers and luxury cars. It is also a good place for Montrealers to cool off the heat. There are public beaches, bathing areas, dragon boating, beach volleyball and other activities in the park. The ice and snow festival held here in winter can enjoy the unique art of ice sculpture in Quebec.
