24hrs Inline Montreal

How to get to the track

The 24hrs Inline Montreal Skaters' village is located in front of the paddocks on the Gilles-Villeneuve Formula-1 racetrack on Notre-Dame Island (map of the park, site map (PDF)). Here are directions to the track, by car, rapid transit, and on skates:

• By car

  From Montreal, take the Bonaventure highway and follow the signs for the Casino. Once onto the Concorde Bridge, continue to the end and stay right to exit onto Notre-Dame Island. Follow the signs for parking lot "P-4", which is nearest to the paddocks.

• By rapid transit

  Take the subway to the Berri-UQAM station, transferring to the yellow line (Longueuil) and getting off at the first stop (Jean-Drapeau). From there, skate to the nearby Cosmos Bridge, which takes you to Notre-Dame island and directly onto the racetrack. Follow the track till you see the paddocks. Bus 167 also serves the entire park (check www.stm.info for more information).

• On skates or by bicycle

  • From Montreal
    

    From the Lachine Canal bike-path, near the Old Port, follow the signs for the Cité du Havre and then for Notre-Dame Island.

  • From the South Shore
    

    Cross via the locks near the Victoria Bridge, using the small bridge from the bike-path, which is for pedestrians, cyclists and skaters. This takes you onto Notre-Dame Island. Where the bike-path joins the racetrack, turn right and you'll soon be in front of the paddocks.
