Jardin de Reuilly-Paul-Pernin, Urban park in 12th arrondissement, France
The Jardin de Reuilly-Paul-Pernin is an urban park in Paris covering approximately 15,200 square meters, with a semi-circular lawn and a pedestrian footbridge crossing through it. The space includes themed gardens, play areas, and a fountain providing both still and sparkling water to visitors.
The park was created in 1992 on the site of a former railway sorting yard that once served the Vincennes railway line. This transformation of industrial railway land into green space reflects how Paris adapted its infrastructure for the benefit of residents.
The park displays several sculptures by artists including Georges Chauvel and Charles Malfray, originally created for the 1937 International Exhibition held in Paris. These artworks give the space a cultural dimension that reflects the artistic movements of that era.
The park is easily accessible from multiple entry points and features wide pathways suitable for everyone, including those with mobility aids. Visit during morning or late afternoon hours to experience the space more comfortably and avoid peak crowds in the garden areas.
A footbridge links this green space directly to the Promenade Plantée, a linear park that runs along a former elevated railway track. This connection allows visitors to walk between two distinct green areas and experience a longer route through the neighborhood.
