		Jarry Park is defined by Jarry and Faillon streets, north and south, and falls west of Saint-Laurent Street over to the tracks.
		The park was renamed Parc Jean-Paul II in 1985 in brief flurry of enthusiasm after the Pope’s mass in the park during his 1984 visit, but the name change seems never to have taken hold and the park reverted to its original name in 1987.
		There is parking in various spots in the park, and although it isn’t on a bike path it’s commonly cycled through.
