Parc Olry, Municipal park in the Saint-Pierre district of Nancy, France
Parc Olry is a municipal park in the Saint-Pierre neighborhood covering about 4.5 hectares with a mix of old and young trees. The grounds hold plane trees, beeches, oaks, yews, chestnuts, and a collection of ginkgo biloba that create a layered canopy.
Achille Olry donated the land to Nancy in 1913, and the site opened to visitors in 1924. The grounds once served as a leper colony during the 13th century.
The entrance gate dates from the 18th century and once belonged to the Hotel de Mahuet. A commemorative bust of Ambroise-Auguste Liebeault stands among the planted areas as a local landmark.
The park is located along Avenue de Strasbourg and features walking paths, seating areas, and playgrounds that are easy to navigate. Seasonal schedules affect when the grounds are accessible throughout the year.
Adjacent municipal greenhouses produce around 450,000 flowering plants each year for the city's public spaces. These blooms come directly from production next to the park and help define Nancy's appearance season after season.
