Verdun beach opens
The new Verdun beach opened Saturday and proved quite popular under a sunny sky and warm but not scorching weather. There’s still work to be done to complete the site.

I went by out of curiosity and it was indeed packed. People seemed to be having a great time, despite the occasional cloud of dust that blew over from the unfinished construction. The beach itself is very small but there’s a lot of nicely terraced lawns with views of the water, and it’s nice to have access to the river – although the water was very, very cold yesterday.

I also dropped by. Totally packed with happy kids and people tanning and hanging out with friends. There’s a gentle ramp right to the shore for all the folks with wheels/strollers etc. It’s a great new addition to the neighbourhood esp since lots of Verduners are single parents, sans car or don’t have a ton of money to take the kids to Parc Jean-Drapeau. There really should be beaches in every borough with water access but this is a great start!
