The Montreal Olympic Park (French: Parc olympique de Montréal) is a sports and entertainment precinct located in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec. It is separated from Maisonneuve Park and the Montreal Botanical Garden by Sherbrooke Street on its northern end (in Montreal's cardinal regime), and bordered by Viau Street to its east, Pierre de Coubertin Avenue to its south, and Pie-IX Boulevard to its west.
Built in the mid-1970s on land that was previously part of Maisonneuve Park's golf course, the precinct housed the central cluster of venues of the 1976 Summer Olympics, consisting the Olympic Stadium, Olympic Pool, Olympic Velodrome, Maurice Richard Arena, and Centre Pierre Charbonneau. Saputo Stadium would be added to the precinct in the mid-2000s. Following the Olympics, facilities other than sports venues were also built in the precinct, including the Montreal Tower, Biodome, Planetarium, and a multiplex.
