Opened in 2013 on the site of former car parks and a bus station over the Paillon River, this linear urban park stretches about 1.2km from Place Masséna toward the MAMAC contemporary art museum. Lawns, fountains, playgrounds, and a bamboo garden line the route, and the shallow 'Miroir d'eau' water-mirror fountain is a summer favorite with children. Beautifully lit at night. Free and always open. 2-minute walk from Tram 1 Masséna or Garibaldi stops.
