Square Colbert, Urban park in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France.

Square Colbert spans 6,337 square meters in a rectangular configuration, featuring tree-lined paths, lawns, and a children's playground within its enclosed space.

The park occupies the former grounds of Belhomme boarding house, a health facility from 1770, and was established as a public space in 1975.

The square bears the name of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a prominent finance minister during the reign of King Louis XIV of France.

Visitors access the park through an entrance at 159 Rue de Charonne, with Philippe Auguste metro station located 300 meters to the northeast.

A neoclassical pavilion remains standing within the park as a physical remnant of the original Belhomme boarding house structure.
