Built for the 1976 Summer Olympic Games, the Olympic Stadium is the Park’s centrepiece, a bold design by French architect Roger Taillibert. A funicular-type elevator brings visitors to the top three observation floors of the Tower, the tallest inclined tower in the world, which offers a spectacular view of the city. The sports centre, at the foot of the Tower, has seven aquatic pools as well as a multi-sport facility. Outdoors, the Olympic Park Esplanade Sun Life Financial welcomes events of all kinds, and for the “1st Fridays” event, vans and trucks converted into mobile kitchens meet in Espace 300 to provide delicious summertime eats.
