Parc Chico Mendes, Public park in Pont des Deux Eaux quarter, Avignon, France
Parc Chico Mendes extends across six hectares of land, featuring a fitness trail, jogging paths, and multiple recreational facilities for outdoor activities.
The establishment of this park represents a crucial development in Avignon's urban planning, providing essential green spaces for community recreation and gatherings.
Throughout the seasons, the park serves as a central location for local community events, sports activities, and outdoor fitness programs.
The park maintains varied seasonal hours, opening at 7:30 AM daily and closing at 6:00 PM from October to March, 8:00 PM in spring and late summer, and 10:00 PM in June-July.
A tree platform constructed in 2018 and a ziplining course added in 2020 through the city's participative budget initiative enhance the recreational offerings.
