Parc de Maurepas

Parc de Maurepas is an urban park in northern Rennes with expanses of grass, pathways, and zones designed for different uses and activities. It includes children's play areas, skating spaces, and planted beds with flowers and trees.

The park was created in the 1930s as one of Rennes' first green spaces designed specifically for public recreation and leisure. Its establishment marked a shift in how the city provided outdoor spaces for its expanding population.

This green space functions as a social hub where residents of Rennes gather throughout the year for leisure and community life. It shapes how people in the neighborhood interact and spend their free time together.

The park can be reached from several entry points along the surrounding boulevards, making it easy to access different areas. Weekends and afternoons are good times to visit when you can see how locals use the different zones.

During warm months, the park activates a misting system that helps keep visitors cool on hot days. This feature makes it an especially welcome retreat during summer heat.
