Parc de Gerland, Urban park in 7th arrondissement, Lyon, France
The Parc de Gerland extends over 18 hectares along the Rhône River, featuring two prairies, gardens with 18,000 plants from 300 species, and 600 trees.
The park was constructed between 1997 and 2002 under the guidance of landscape architect Michel Corajoud, transforming a former industrial area into public green space.
The Festival 6e Continent takes place in the park during early June, celebrating world cultures and diversity throughout the Lyon metropolitan area.
The park opens daily from 6:30 AM until 8:30 PM during winter months and until 10:30 PM in summer, with access through Metro B or Bus 60.
The Megaphorbiaie section contains six thematic plots marked by metal ground plates, while a European-scale mist system creates cooling effects throughout the space.
