PlazaLedgesStairs

A granite square on Saint-Laurent Blvd, designed by Robert Desjardins and opened in 1994, whose long ledges and stairs made it Montreal's best-known street spot; after years of tickets the city legalized skating there in 2015.

Heads up · Skating is legal, but it is a busy public square in front of the Monument-National: give pedestrians room.

Bring

  • Damp patches → a towel or a push broom for the bottom of the bowl; skip the wet transition and soft dirt lips
  • 7 °C → a layer you can drop by the fence
  • Always → a helmet (required at many parks and every track), and pads for transition and dirt
  • After dark → we don't know if it's lit; bring a light

How the read works

We track the water on the ground hour by hour, starting two days back. Rain adds to it; sun, wind and dry air take it away (the forecast's evaporation figure, which folds all three together); frost locks it in. Concrete sheds most of a downpour and dries in a couple of hours on a good day. Dirt soaks it up and takes a day or more, and riding it while it's mud ruts it. It's a model, not a camera: shady corners and the bottom of a bowl hold water longer. Weather from Open-Meteo.
