Parc Barton, Public park on Lake Geneva shore, Switzerland
The grounds extend along Lake Geneva with paved paths winding through groves of giant sequoias and traditional European trees.
In 1892, Daniel Fitzgerald Pakenham Barton purchased the estate, which his widow later donated to the Swiss Confederation with specific maintenance requirements.
The Villa Barton within the park houses the Graduate Institute of International Studies, contributing to Geneva's academic and research environment.
The park remains open twenty-four hours daily, with designated pedestrian paths and restrictions on bicycle traffic except in specific mixed-use zones.
A collection of thirty giant California sequoias grows throughout the park, creating an unexpected North American forest environment in Switzerland.
