Parc interdépartemental des sports

Parc interdépartemental des sports is a large sports facility in Choisy-le-Roi with extensive grounds for different sports. The site includes tennis and football fields plus a cycling track running alongside the Seine, with a water body for rowing and small sailing activities.

The area was medieval pastureland for livestock that faced regular flooding from the Seine. Over time the land was drained and eventually transformed into a modern sports facility serving the region.

The park serves as a gathering place for athletes and sports clubs from the surrounding region, where competitions and training events happen regularly throughout the year. People from Paris and nearby areas come here to practice their skills and connect with others who share their sporting interests.

The park is easily accessed via the RER line D at Créteil-Pompadour station and offers plenty of parking for those arriving by car. The different sports facilities are spread out in a way that makes it straightforward to move between activities.

The water body in the park comes from runoff of Mont-Mesly in Créteil rather than being a natural water source. Yet it is large enough to support rowing boats and small sailing vessels, offering visitors an unexpected nautical experience within a sports complex.
