The Pavillon de la Savane is part of a development plan. It sits north of the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood. The building once housed community activities. It had changing rooms and toilets for a wading pool. The park’s new layout required an extension. Redevelopment became necessary.
Mountain Sights Community Center occupies the chalet premises. The project offers better visibility. It improves accessibility within the community. It meets community needs. New outdoor spaces have been added. These include community gardens and a public market space. There are spaces for collecting books.
The new layout meets universal accessibility standards. A reception area is visible for park users. There are separate classrooms for age groups. A gymnasium is solely dedicated to sports. A kitchen can host workshops. These workshops are for adults and young people.
Preserving community belonging was a main challenge. The project added a building to two others. These buildings were built at different times. It was necessary to work with roof angles. New angles re-imagine the typical Montreal park chalet. Large windows provide natural light.
Parc de la Savane has evolved. It continues to serve the community. It provides spaces for recreation and relaxation. Consider the blend of old and new. The park is a testament to thoughtful urban design. The park elevates the character of the urban neighborhood.
