About
Sports-Recreation and Community Events is the recreation and events programming arm of the City of Westmount, operating out of facilities on Rue Sainte-Catherine in Westmount. The organization coordinates sports programming, community events, and seasonal activities for Westmount families.
Programming covers the full spectrum of community recreation. You'll find youth sports leagues, seasonal events like winter carnivals and summer festivals, swimming programs, and organized activities in Westmount's parks and facilities. The city's recreation infrastructure is well-funded, and the programming reflects that.
For visiting families, the community events are the most accessible offerings. Check the Westmount events calendar for family-friendly activities that are open to the public. Sports leagues and regular programming typically prioritize Westmount residents.
Westmount is a small, affluent city within Montreal with excellent parks and facilities. The recreation programming takes advantage of spaces like Westmount Park, the pool, and the arena. The area is walkable, safe, and well-maintained.
The Vendome metro station is the closest transit option. Rue Sainte-Catherine in Westmount is quieter and more residential than the Montreal stretch of the same street. Parking is generally easier here than in downtown Montreal.
