Parc Frédéric Back, once a massive limestone quarry and then a city landfill, has undergone an incredible transformation to become one of North America’s most ambitious urban environmental rehabilitation projects.
This sprawling Montreal park now features rolling green hills dotted with otherwordly spheres that are actually biogas collection wells, converting the site’s past waste into clean energy. It’s a powerful testament to ecological ingenuity, offering vibrant green space for recreation, culture, and a unique glimpse into sustainable environment.
It’s one of the hidden gems of the island.
