SITE 2

OSCAR-PETERSON PARK PAVILION

SITUATED BETWEEN THE SUBWAY AND THE SAINT-MARTIN HOUSING COMPLEX, THIS PARK IS THE LIVELIEST AREA OF LITTLE BURGUNDY. IT IS A SITE OF GREAT CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: THE INSTITUTIONS NEARBY SUCH AS THE "NEGRO COMMUNITY CENTER" WERE THE CORE OF MONTREAL'S FIRST BLACK COMMUNITY IN THE EARLY 1900's. TODAY, IT CONTINUES TO ATTRACT A DIVERSIFIED CROWD AND IS A PLATFORM FOR SOCIETAL CLAIMS.
