  Hello,
New to the forum, sorry my French is very poor. In the process of doing classes. Wondering if anyone could suggest a spot very near or preferably on the island of Montreal (on land) where I could go and safely fly a kite that someone has given me. I have spent a few hours on a trainer and then messed with a 5m traction kite for a while. Have taken my 10m C kite out in a baseball field to just get the lines out and check out the safety. Where can I try this kite out in low winds that would be a large safe place with not too many people around? Any thoughts? Thanks for your help,
Mike

  Hi Mikesnow, for pratice near Montreal , you can go to the Parc de la commune in Varennes. it's a big park near the St-Laurence River , lot of people go there for pratice or doing buggy.

see the image

Thk one bridge , direction Est on the 132 , until Varenne , after that , at left you take rue sainte Anne
after left on Rue Sainte Therese.

I thinks it's you Best choice.

in winter time , lot more place to train..

Have Fun Wave

Mike

you can also practice at Parc Maritime St-Lambert

A gusty place because of Ile-Notre-Dame but enough room to buggy, mountainboard and static flying. Usually not crowded (max 2-3 kites).

Lien Google Map

The spot might be lost next year because St-Lambert wants to build synthetic soccer fields there.

  I heard of Parc Jarry too but never tried.

IMO any spot surrounded by buildings, neighboorhood, etc are too gusty
