Botanical Garden exit on Rue Sherbrooke ← Olympic Stadium esplanade
City sidewalk and open concrete esplanade
Cross Sherbrooke to the stadium Roger Taillibert designed for the 1976 Summer Olympics. Its tower, 165 metres tall and inclined at 45 degrees, is the tallest inclined tower in the world. The observatory at the top is closed for renovation, with a reopening announced for around spring 2027, so for now this is a walk-around stop: take in the scale of the concrete from the esplanade and read the Olympic history on site. About 30 minutes.

Olympic Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Montreal, Canada, located at Olympic Park in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district of the city. Built in the mid-1970s as the main venue for the 1976 Summer Olympics, it is nicknamed "The Big O", a reference to both its name and to the doughnut-shape of the permanent component of the stadium's roof. It is also disparagingly referred to as "The Big Owe" in reference to the high cost of its construction and of hosting the 1976 Olympics as a whole.
