Un ancien terrain de golf où on continue à tondre le gazon mur-à-mur(comme le parc Maisonneuve) n’est pas souhaitable. Ça perpétue la glorification du gazon, une monoculture à l’opposé de la biodiversité.
Dans ce parc, il y a seulement quelques espèces de vieux arbres, nombreux mais tous du même âge, et du gazon. Le manque de variété d’âges est frappant.

Il faut renaturaliser comme c’était AVANT de devenir un golf, en faisant beaucoup de plantation de plantes indigènes, pas seulement des arbres à grand déploiement, et ce sur plusieurs années. Il faut surtout limiter l’usage de la tondeuse à gazon au minimum.

A nature park with walking trails would be great and a man-made lake like the one in Dollard des Ormeaux would be spectacular. Most importantly, a road (and a bridge)would need to be created to access this area from the Hwy 20 / Lachine area. Otherwise this park remains in a corner of Montreal that nobody except local residents frequent.

The possibilities are absolutely amazing of what could be done with this site. I would recommend the planting of selective species of native plants, trees, and bushes, which would provide food and habit specifically to attract birds. I refer here to the excellent book on the subject, “A Garden of Birds” by André Dion. Such a site would draw amateur and professional birder alike from all around the region.

The Summit in Westmount is a beautiful example of a green space in an urban setting. A scenic and peaceful bird and animal sanctuary, it has picturesque winding paths where people can stroll with or without their dogs. If Meadowbrook could become a similar nature retreat, it would create an oasis for the many people who live on the west end of the island.

I would like to see a suspended footbridge the length of the St-Jacques escarpment that would allow people to hike and observe nature. Here is an example this one in Vancouver: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1UT-e2B7zsw/SyQbVJIV5tI/AAAAAAAABkc/NYpPhQmAINk/s576/148-TPolen-8771.jpg.
Another nice touch would be plaques describing points of interest and remarkable trees.
