Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
A genuinely pleasant green spine through the centre — shaded benches, lawns and the Miroir d'Eau jet-fountain that's a guaranteed summer hit with children.
Not independently verified — estimated
It's a working thoroughfare park, not a destination, and through ~2028 its northern end is disrupted by the Paillon Saison 2 / MAMAC works, with hoardings and reduced green space; the water jets only run in warmer months.
