Old City of Westmount Emblem

Former fire box, in use for over 75 years and decommissioned in 1987. It appears to have a crown on the top, a Canadian maple leaf in the middle and the letters “City of Westmount” at the bottom. It is located behind the clay tennis courts in Westmount Park.

Boulders – Westmount Park

Boulders - Westmount Park

A boulder behind the clay tennis courts in Westmount Park. One wonders about its origin. More are located nearby beside the green houses as well as in the park’s lagoon.

The park, originally, had ravines that were used as landfill by the City of Montreal. Most notably, during the construction period for the downtown Ogilvy department store.
