Parc de la Glissoire, Recreational park in Avion, France.

Parc de la Glissoire covers 55 hectares between Avion and Lens along the Lens-Arras road, with 10 kilometres of paths and more than 8,000 trees and shrubs. Six lakes totalling 12 hectares are fed by the Glissoire, a tributary of the Souchez. A pumping station keeps the water level constant because mining subsidence left the park below the water table.

The park was built on the site of former Mine Shaft 5, where coal was extracted. This transformation of industrial land into public recreation space shows the region's shift away from mining activity.

The park serves as a gateway to the Chaine des Parcs project, which transforms the former coal mining region into a large green corridor. Visitors can observe how this place brings nature and community together.

The park lies along the Lens–Arras road (A211 and N17) in Avion and Lens, with 10 km of trails across 55 hectares. Six lakes covering 12 hectares are open for fishing, and diving and canoe-kayaking are also practised. Because mining subsidence puts the grounds below the water table, a pumping station keeps the pond levels constant.

Of the 72 bird species recorded in the park, 31 are aquatic, using the six lakes that cover 12 hectares. The water level in these lakes is held steady by a pumping station, because mining subsidence has left the park below the water table.
