Square de la Porte de la Villette, Urban park in 19th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The square de la Porte-de-la-Villette is a grassy park in the 19th arrondissement, crossed by the rue Forceval, a lane closed to motor vehicles that runs northeast from the rue du Chemin-de-Fer and passes under the boulevard Périphérique in a tunnel toward Pantin. A dirt and gravel path curves between patches of grass, scattered trees stand in the background, and four weathered grey concrete bollards, about knee height, line the edge of the lawn.

The square existed as a green space before the Boulevard Périphérique was built; it received its current name when the ring road was created in the late 1960s, and the roadworks split it into two parts. Rue Forceval crosses it from Rue du Chemin-de-Fer toward the northeast, then passes under the ring road through a tunnel to reach Pantin. In September 2021 the tunnel was walled up with concrete blocks after the police moved hundreds of drug users from Rue Riquet to the square.

The square takes its name from the nearby porte de la Villette. Rue Forceval, closed to motor vehicles, crosses the green space from rue du Chemin-de-Fer toward the northeast, then passes under the boulevard périphérique in a tunnel toward Pantin. In September 2021 the prefecture moved hundreds of drug users here from rue Riquet, and the tunnel was walled up with concrete blocks.

Several entrances link the square to nearby metro stations, making it accessible from different directions. The facility provides distributed seating, public amenities, and play areas positioned throughout to serve visitors comfortably.

The rue Forceval crosses the square and once passed under the boulevard périphérique through a tunnel toward Pantin. In September 2021, after hundreds of drug users were moved here from rue Riquet, authorities sealed that tunnel with concrete blocks, a measure criticised for blocking residents' route.
