Loisirs du Parc

Loisirs du Parc is a community recreation organization on Rue Saint-Roch in the Parc-Extension neighbourhood of Montreal. It functions as the area's main provider of recreational programming for families, offering sports, arts, social activities, and community events year-round.

The organization runs out of community spaces in the neighbourhood and coordinates activities in nearby parks and facilities. Programming includes youth sports leagues, arts and crafts sessions, summer day camps, family events, and teen activities. The schedule is robust for a community organization, with activities available 7 days a week.

Park-Extension is one of Montreal's most diverse neighbourhoods, and Loisirs du Parc reflects that diversity. The programs serve families from many cultural backgrounds, and staff are multilingual. This makes it an especially welcoming option for newcomer families.

Pricing is intentionally accessible. Many programs are free, and those with fees are kept low. This is community recreation at its best, focused on getting kids active and connected rather than generating revenue.

The neighbourhood is accessible via the Parc metro station (about a 10-minute walk) or the 80 bus. Street parking is available on Saint-Roch. The area has excellent South Asian, Greek, and Middle Eastern restaurants for a meal before or after activities.
