Please see below for what this park used to be like. I posted that review five years ago (2017). Now (2022) the lake has been drained. The toilets condemned (by the looks of it) and locked out of use. The park wardens are gone. You can only access the park from one entrance. They have closed off pathways. The fountains in the park and just outside are no longer working. There is a building site right next door to the pond area. Workspeople use a path in the park to go to their hut now. The only animals left are a couple of chickens. What a shame. I hope the turtles and fish etc were rehomed at least. This place has gone to the dogs!! We used to love sitting here for a few hours in the sun watching the turtles and to see the fish jumping out of the lake. Now it looks like a post apocalyptic scene. Shame on Marseille council!! They paved paradise . . . . 2017: Have been here many times on visits to Marseille. Great place to sit for a few hours and picnic. Toilet facilities are available though always smell and you need to bring paper (good to know!) The park is patrolled by parks department people and is in good condition. You do see fish and chickens in there too. There are a couple of lake areas as well as grassy, stone and play areas as well. Really nice up there and full of locals too.

Dogs are not allowed despite what google says. We walked for a while in July’s heat only to not be allowed in.

This was one of my favorite parks in Marseille before they decided to mess up all around while constructing the new tunnel. They even damaged the lake and now it needs to be drained.

Very beautiful park. Great for walks after work or quick runs if you want a green area. There’s a language exchange group meeting every Saturday, I think.

(Translated by Google) Very messy park especially the playground. Not much to see. Just lets sit down for a little break. (Original) Parc très salissant surtout l aire de jeux. Pas grand chose à voir. Permet juste de s asseoir pour une petite pause.

Beautiful park. Friendly environment and family welcoming space. This park has very beautiful landscape, activities and publicly available sports facilities for a variety of sports. The park is beautifully designed. There is a small pond with still water green colour due to the water grass l, a bit dirty but nice looking. There are several types of wild birds. There are small water fountains. The benches under the shades of trees are perfect for relaxation and contimplation.

Really beautiful and peaceful. Perfect for picnics, walks, parties..etc. child friendly but pets are not not allowed. I like to go for walks in this park.

Quiet place to take a seat and relax. Lots of elderly chilling and people getting their workout in.

Amazing place to hang out with family and friends..Kids are too going to have great fun in the lush greenery!! If you looking for some picnic spot, then surely you are going to love it!!

Nice place to play ball

Beautiful park with a café in the middle. Playground is good too, my son really enjoyed it.

(Translated by Google) We can only love a green park in Marseille, but we meet there with friends, for a game of Pétanque. Too bad the grounds are not more shaded. (Original) On ne peut que aimer un Parc de verdure dans Marseille, mais nous nous y retrouvons avec des amis, pour une partie de Pétanque. Dommage que les terrains ne soient pas plus ombragés.

(Translated by Google) Very nice little park in the center of Marseille (Original) Très joli petit parc en centre de Marseille

(Translated by Google) There is no where to sit !!!!!!!! Places are already lacking in Marseille ...... (Original) Il n y a pas ou s' assoir !!!!!!!! Les endroits manque déjà à Marseille ......

(Translated by Google) I find this park really awful and unworthy of a big city. When I think of all the promotion made at the time of the works, that leaves me doubtful. (Original) Je trouve ce parc vraiment affreux et indigne d'une grande ville.Quand je pense à toute la promo faite à l'époque des travaux , ça me laisse dubitatif.

(Translated by Google) It remains Marseille neither do nor mess at the same level as the city (Original) Ça reste Marseille ni fais ni à faire bordélique au même niveau que la ville

(Translated by Google) Too many jobs, all the time that don't change anything. (Original) Trop de travaux, tout le temps qui ne changent rien.

A nice, large park in Marseille with varied areas. There is a duck pond, Japanese garden, Arab garden, grassy hill area, playground, cafe, and fountain area. Nice for a stroll, run, or hanging out.

Very nice place to relax,roam around just by yourself or with your companions..even kids will love it

Amazing park, to bring the family and enjoy a big green place, bring food, play games, indid grate park. Only thing that's missing is a place for dogs, in this park you cant bring dog's

This park is amazing! It's got so many different vegetations from different places and chickens roam freely there. There is a small lake where ducks could swim. Great place to have a picnic, to relax and read a book, for kids to fun and play, as well as to exercise and jog.

a great place for relaxation . for enjoying in the grass near the lake with nice chickens and ducks

It’s in really bad shape. Tags everywhere, piled up cans of beer, the place is not maintained and we left very disappointed.

Cosy park with some nice thematical gardens.

Nice park for running or just relaxing, but there was a very nice lake in Winter time, but now in the summer, it’s dry, you can even walk in it.

(Translated by Google) This park could be beautiful if it were maintained. Lawns not mowed, trees not cut, rather dirty. Many rooms of water are empty, it is regrettable that it will bring freshness. It is inconceivable that the central river could serve as a swimming pool and a paddling pool. Does not make you want to go back there, maintained, it would be at the level of Borely and Pharo. Why is there no caretaker? (Original) Ce parc pourrait être superbe si il était entretenu. Pelouses non tondues, arbres non taillés, plutôt sale. Beaucoup de pièces d eau sont vides, c'est regrettable cela apporterai de la fraicheur. Inconcevable que la rivière centrale serve de piscine et de pataugeoire . Ne donne pas envie d y retourner, entretenu, il serait au niveau de Borely et du Pharo. Pourquoi n y a t il pas de gardien ?

That’s such a great & relaxing place !

Very nice park in Marseille.

One of my favorite parks in Marseille! I love to go jogging here. There are a lot of other joggers and a nice pathway. There is a pond with turtles, fish and ducks. There are also chickens and I even saw baby chicks! The park is great for kids, there's a splash pad and jungle gym. There is also an Asian garden and koi pond. This park has it all.

Very large park. Many activities are held there. Family friendly

Cute and right in the middle of the city. It has a children's play area, basketball court and a water body with plenty of ducks. You can also find wild hens

Great place for a walk. Lots of different plants. Wild chickens live there. Kids love this place. You can rest or be active there.

Great park for escaping Marseille

Hallucinant. Un aussi joli parc autant laissé à l'abandon. Il serait temps que le service des parcs se.mette au travail.. herbes folles, palmier jamais taillé, arbre mort, eaux croupières bref un scandale de jemenfoutisme. Espérons que la nouvelle municipalité prenne la mesure et exige des services pléthoriques des entretiens fassent leur travail enfin

Ce parc semble être abandonné, ou entretiens au minimum. Des espaces dégradés par des squats. En plus en en cette période Covid, certain trouve encore la penne de faire leurs escraiment sauvagement, malgré la présence de toilettes, il serai bon de voir des toilettes sèches dans les endroit éloigné des seule wc du parc, comme c'est le cas au parc borely.

Tah les fous

Parc spacieux avec des canards, poules et un lac. En plus il est bien entretenu.

Joli parc , tranquille et reposant.

É bem agradável e com várias coisas a serem descobertas.

Parfait pour un petit jogging, fin de journée, ou ballade avec les enfants. Un poumon vert dans la ville.

(Translated by Google) Nice walk, just a shame for this period of work which condemns part of the green circuit (Original) Belle ballade, juste dommage pour cette période de travaux qui condamne une partie du circuit vert
