I grew up in Montreal which has at its centre a mountain which was originally a volcano. As a result it has a lake at the top. Olmstead created a park which preserved the natural wonder of the site and did little to alter its basic topography. 

The only problem with the park is that it is difficult to access since one needs a car to get there. The positive side is that the park is sparsely frequented and acts as the lungs of the city with its forested slopes.
