Parc des Gayeulles, Urban park in Maurepas-Patton district, Rennes, France
The park extends over 100 hectares of land, featuring five lakes, forests, and extensive green spaces in the northern part of Rennes.
The land development started in 1967 under Mayor Henri Fréville, with the park opening to the public in 1978 after allowing young trees to mature.
The park maintains a children's farm on the site of Basses-Gayeules, a 15th-century farm that belonged to the bishop and includes a historic dovecote.
Visitors can access multiple sports facilities including tennis courts, football fields, an ice rink named Le Blizz, and a swimming pool complex.
The park houses a campsite with 178 pitches that welcomes international tourists and maintains year-round residents since its establishment in 1979.
