What's that building at the head of the park in the foreground? It looks simultaneously terraced and one-floor high.
It's not a building, it's a concrete park. It was build when the Ville-Marie underground expressway was build. Heritage Montreal wants to save it, while the city of Montreal would like to rase it and put a proper green space in its place.

It's among Montreal's top 10 endangered landmarks according to Heritage Montreal.

It's completely devoid of any charm and you can't go there unless you want to walk on a needle :-(
