Parc bordelais, Urban park in Bordeaux, France

Parc Bordelais covers 28 hectares in the Caudéran district of Bordeaux. At its centre lies an artificial pond about 200 metres long and 40 cm deep, crossed by a small footbridge and edged by lawns where ducks and moorhens gather. An asphalt ring road about fifteen metres wide circles the grounds, doubled by a jogging path.

In 1864 Captain Frank Cutler, an English wine merchant, sold the 28 hectares of vines, fields and woods for 500,000 francs to a company planning a park and acclimatisation garden; the scheme failed and the city bought the Cutler estate in 1882 for 345,000 francs using Camille Godard's legacy. Eugène Bühler designed the park, inaugurated on 28 April 1888 by President Sadi Carnot.

The Guignol Guerin puppet theatre in the park was founded in 1853 and is described as the oldest puppet theatre in France still in operation. Its shows are among the paid attractions of the Parc bordelais, alongside the small train and the go-kart tracks.

The park has nine entrances: the main Carnot gate at rue du Bocage and rue Carnot, plus Briex, Saint-Jérôme, Bijou, Malvezin, Prévention, Cerey and St-Médard. Tram Line D stops at Courbet. An asphalted oval ring about 15 metres wide circles the grounds, with a jogging path alongside it. The artificial pond is shallow, about 40 cm deep.

The Guignol Guérin puppet theatre in the park was founded in 1853 and is described as the oldest puppet theatre in France still in operation. The park also keeps farm animals from Aquitaine in an enclosure, a feature that is being scaled down.
