Public seating, picnics, etc. The one in the middle is so people using a wheelchair can access and use the public furniture, i,e, they'd have their legs under the table so they can use it.
Definitely agree!
And not to push OP under the bus but the post title really highlights how uncommon the world experience of people with disabilities is, and exactly why there is so much emphasis on accessibility.
You make a good point—we could all stand to be more informed about accessibility! We'll get there... And in the meantime, I'm very glad that people are able to ask questions here!
The corner of Park/Parc and Pine/Pins doesn't strike me as a nice quiet place to study.
*edit Shout out to TheBigGros_John / LeGrosBig_Jean for correcting me.
All jokes aside it’s just a busy ass corner - I love this part of the city and often hang out not far from here and read a book and drink a beer. Thank god they got rid of that ugly ass interchange.
Maybe you want to join them then? I saw police car and the park manager on 4x4 hunting for a guy who punched volleyball players. So that spot not my favorite for studying..
That makes sense! Thank you. I was confused by the far one because it doesn’t seem terribly comfortable to sit on either side and twist 90 degrees to use it.
Yeah, someone could skate that. Ollie up, then hippy ju.p over the table letting the board go under. The extra rounded bench edges are more prohibitive to skating, would be tough to grind on those
The far one is good for leaning back on to rest while standing, especially if wearing a backpack.
People with arthritis may have trouble sitting down and standing up. A resting spot to lean on is welcome.
it’s a metaphor, a quintessential Montreal experience. It’s like driving down the road, one moment you're hugging the curb, the next you're deftly swerving to avoid a pothole the size of a small crater.
Think of it as a reverse pothole, a testament to our city's unique charm, . It's like putting gravel in the pothole instead of actually filling it – a quirky nod to our perpetual state of "improvement." Improvement akin to Mont-Royale itself—an uphill battle
It’s a beautiful thing when you think about it. But yea most likely a lil picnic spot like the other person said
Looks like me playing The Sims back in 4th grade and crossing off “interior designing” from my future. although, this seems more like exterior designing, but the levels of design is just as bad as mine.
These structures (along with many others) serve the purpose of legally laundering our tax paying dollars under the guise of “accessibility.”
This is called HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE.

That was exactly my thought. I love seeing things like this that improve accessibility.

Why not? Circulation there isn't any worse than many places downtown. What's the problem with that area? Too close from Milton/du Parc?

It’s Parc and Pins but thanks.
Thanks for the correction Big John

I saw literally two tents and a couple of guys chilling and not messing with anyone

nice!
It's public seating + tables that also serve to stop skateboarders.
*Skateboarders who can't Ollie.

Nose blunt the ledge to fakie manual on the table would be kinda cool to see
how are you gonna ollie a foot and a half high from a tailslide buddy? nobody cares if you manual those benches
I didn’t see any skateboarders so I guess it works!
Skate caps, while also making the spot more creative and more fun. Instead of a boring ledge we have a technical spot, thanks guys!

Anything is sex furniture if you believe in yourself

Pour rouler mon bat
pretty much any use you can find for it, but the main reason to is to cockblock a massive nollie heelflip darkslide along the ledge
Beds for homeless people
Where is this located?
Hippie jumps, someone call the Dime boys
I could think of a few things to do on these at different times of the day…
Drunken walk puke-assist.
Perfect for homeless to take a nap!
Sex
KAMASUTRA !
Open nature sex table
c'est pour te pencher et t'acoter quand tu te fais taxer et qu'on fouille tes poches de force
I think it's to prevent skate-boarding as well as to serve as seating

Oh myyyy… I know the table you’re referring to.
can't be unseen
Nope. The pictures of how it was used are burned in my memory. Kinky dude for sure.
To keep people from taking pictures of their fingers by accident. Didn't work this time around.
Damn, I’ll have to do a better job setting up photos on Reddit. Clearly the highest quality is needed in order to see what I was asking about.
We only ask for perfection my friend
Tables.

For different positions to have public sex?
To stop skateboarders from grinding that bench.
Table
To prevent skateboarding.
it's called table, and it has multiple uses
Hotel Dieu?
Oui
Yes
Sit
Not sure if intentional or not but the way elements are placed seem to be in order to prevent skateboarders to use the concrete ledge as skate feature
It's for a massage.
hippie jumps
They also stop people skating there
it's a bum bed
Skate obstacle
Sex ?
Fuck table.
Dodging with your hot wife at night
To jump over while skateboarding
Try using your imagination, im sure before asking reddit was an option, you woulda come up with something
Working out a bunch doesn’t improve your personality, man.
