Parc des Eaux Vives, Lakefront park in Eaux-Vives district, Geneva, Switzerland.
The park extends along Lake Geneva's shore, featuring gardens with sequoias, pine trees, rhododendrons, and azalea flower beds across its grounds.
The estate was established in 1565 by Aimé Plonjon, Lord of Bellerive, with the main mansion constructed in 1750 and later purchased by engineer Louis Favre in 1865.
From 1896 to 1913, the park housed a Luna Park with a theater, miniature train, and aerial demonstrations, serving as an entertainment center for Geneva residents.
The park remains accessible 24 hours daily, with dogs permitted on pathways when leashed but prohibited on grass areas throughout the grounds.
The name Eaux-Vives originates from the numerous springs and streams that once supplied drinking water to the city of Geneva.
