Peace Park (Montreal) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Peace Park (Montreal) Peace Park or Place de la Paix is an urban square in Montreal. Peace Park is the colloquial name for Place de la Paix, which directly translates to “Place of Peace”. Often, even in French newspapers, Place de la Paix is referred to as “Parc de la Paix”.〔(Le VM - Media Transcontinental )〕 It is on Saint-Laurent Boulevard and, as such, it follows different by-laws than parks. For example, Peace park is open to the public at all times, unlike parks with visiting hours. == History == The decision to build Peace Park came during Jean Doré’s administration after he helped Montreal become a Nuclear Free Zone in 1986. With Montréal’s new commitment to peace the mayor Jean Doré announced in 1989〔King, M. (30 October 1989), "City will build peace park, Doré says", Montreal: The Gazette〕 that he would build a place of peace in remembrance of the tragedies of nuclear warfare, located on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in front of the Monument-National and the Montreal Pool Room. The park was designed by Robert Desjardins and was inaugurated on the 20th of November 1994.〔Trottier, A. (Lundu 21 Novembre 1994, p.C9). "Un Jardin pour la paix...et les échassiers", Montreal: La Presse.〕 It is largely constructed of granite with grass around granite tiles in the middle, and with trees contouring the park. The park originally had green metal benches under the trees that surrounded the park, but they were removed in 2005 to help with the gentrification of the area. Montreal’s city officials are trying to "clean up" Peace Park, meaning that they want to decrease the amount of alcoholics, homeless, drugs, prostitutes, and skateboarders who are there due to its location at the center of the red light district in the heart of Montreal.
