Paul Mistral park, Urban park with heritage status in Grenoble, France.

Paul Mistral Park is a 21-hectare urban park in Grenoble, laid out on the former military engineering ground after the 1925 International Exhibition of Hydropower and Tourism. Its lawns, paths, shrub beds and perennial plantings surround a still greenish pond edged with tall reeds, reached by a curving paved path; a low metal fence runs beside the water and wooden posts carry signs reading "Accueil" and "Kiosque". The city hall and major sports facilities stand within the park.

The site was originally a military ground before transforming into a park with the opening of the International Exhibition of Hydropower and Tourism in 1925. The Perret Tower was constructed at the same time as this transformation, becoming a defining feature of the landscape.

One path in the park is named after the 24 Grenoble residents recognised as Righteous Among the Nations. The park also keeps a memory of the 1925 exhibition: the Perret Tower, the railway palace and the hydropower palace survived later demolitions, the two palaces serving as exhibition halls until the mid-1960s.

Tram line C serves the park at the Chavant and Grenoble Hôtel de Ville stops. Chrono bus lines C1 (Chavant, Grenoble Hôtel de Ville) and C4 (Chavant), plus Proximo lines 14 and 15, also stop nearby. The park lies northeast of the city centre, with the place Paul Mistral alongside it separating it from the western part of town.

The Perret Tower was Europe's tallest reinforced concrete structure when built in 1925. This architectural achievement remains visible from many spots throughout the site and defines its profile.
