Which is the best kids friendly neighborhood in Montreal?

[Dimi2]

Hello,
We are planning to move from NL,Canada to Montreal and we have 2nd grader and 1 year old baby,which neighborhood will you recommend as kids friendly?

I’d highly recommend NDG (and the area around Monkland in particular). Safe, lots of other familles, tons of parks, and businesses tend to be kid friendly. Most things tend to be within walking distance and anything that isn’t is easily accessible by public transit.

There are also plenty of very good schools in the immediate area. That includes public and private, elementary schools and high schools, not to mention several very good daycares.

Hands down the Plateau: tons of parks, pedestrian & bike friendly, lots of rec centers, pool, good public schools, etc.

I used to live around metro Monk and I have to sya it's super kid friendly. I'd love to live there again. There is a Café called café central and you could tell how kid friendly it is by just stepping inside. There are kids constantly running around playing and it's the most adorable thing. There is many parks and schools. It's a real quiet neighborhood with charming vibe to it.
