Square Maurice-Gardette, Urban park in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France.

Square Maurice-Gardette spans 9,853 square meters and contains a network of walking paths surrounded by chestnut trees, magnolias, and giant sequoias.

The park, established in 1979, stands on the former location of the Menilmontant slaughterhouses, which were demolished in 1867.

The bronze statue 'Le Botteleur' by Jacques Perrin and a traditional music kiosk from 1899 represent the artistic elements of the garden.

A Byzantine hazelnut tree planted in 1879 reaches 21 meters in height and maintains a trunk circumference of 250 centimeters.
