Parc de Villejean

The Parc de Villejean extends across 5.9 hectares, featuring a wooded area, large lawn spaces, and a natural pond within an urban setting.

The park opened its gates to the public in 1972, establishing itself as the first recreational space beyond the city's ring road connecting urban and rural environments.

The park management follows specific ecological codes introduced by Rennes in 2008, implementing different maintenance approaches for structured gardens, country gardens, and natural spaces.

Visitors can access sports facilities including basketball courts, ping-pong tables, foosball tables, and a dedicated health course for physical activities.

The pond ecosystem within the park serves as a research site for monitoring specific wildlife species, including bats and butterflies in their natural habitat.
