Definitely missed! I proposed to wifey on that mountain .

And I believe the same guy who designed Central Park designed Parc MontRoyal, hence the resemblance and similar concept: large, secluded greenspace in the middle of the city.

Oh wow.. Even better.. And so from Mont Royal that actually is the view, not a drone... Wow that's nice. Frederick Law Olmsted? Wow, so he REALLY did a lot. Seems like any city that had some type of power around that time (all the northern cities with industry) got a park commissioned by him. Fun fact, did you know that FLO also designed Bok Tower Gardens just under an hour south of here? Unfortunately I've never had an opportunity to go. He would really be interesting to read more about.
