Parc Bertrand, Public park in Plainpalais district, Switzerland
Parc Bertrand is a public park with green lawns, walking paths, and planted beds set among trees like willows and Himalayan birches. The grounds include playgrounds, sports fields, and a wading pool for different activities.
The property dates to the 17th century and belonged to photographer-explorer Alfred Bertrand's family. His widow donated it to Geneva in 1940.
The park serves as a gathering place where neighbors meet regularly, children play, and families spend time together in the open spaces. The lawns and shaded areas naturally draw people for informal meetings and everyday activities.
The park is easily reached by buses 1, 3, and 35 and is open around the clock every day. Visitors should plan visits during warmer months when vegetation is lush and outdoor activities are most abundant.
The park is managed without chemical pesticides and uses late mowing to encourage wild plants and insects. This natural approach allows visitors to find greater variety in wildlife within the city.
