Montreal Parks and Public Spaces Polygon Data

Over 1,495 parks and public spaces across Montreal's boroughs, covering more than 6,412 hectares. The dataset provides surface polygon representations for these areas within the urban fabric. Data is for representational purposes and is not a legal reference for park boundaries.

Use Cases

• Analyze urban green space distribution using surface polygon area data across Montreal boroughs.
• Calculate total park coverage per borough from the 6,412+ hectare area data.
• Map the 1,495+ park locations against urban infrastructure layers for city planning.
• Assess public space accessibility by integrating park polygon data with population density maps.

Strengths

• Covers over 1,495 distinct parks and public spaces.
• Represents a total area exceeding 6,412 hectares.
• Data is polygon-based, providing spatial geometry for analysis.

Limitations

• Parks from linked cities are only partially represented, limiting geographic completeness.
• Boundaries follow cadastre but are not legally accurate for precise location.
• Dataset is intended for representation only, not for authoritative legal or cadastral use.
