Parc du 26e Centenaire, Public park and garden in 10th arrondissement, Marseille, France.
The park extends across eighteen hectares, featuring a large fountain, a canal decorated with twenty-six water jets, and a paved terrace.
The grounds transformed from Gare du Prado railway station in 1998, when the city of Marseille initiated extensive landscaping with 6500 bushes and 1500 trees.
Four distinct gardens represent global influences: Provençal with aromatic plants, African with sand dunes, Arab-Andalusian with palm trees, and English with a lake.
The park maintains seasonal hours, opening at 7 AM and closing at 7 PM from September through May, with extended evening hours until 9 PM in summer.
Twenty-six sequoia trees stand within the park grounds, symbolizing the twenty-six centuries of Marseille's recorded history since its establishment.
