Noë Mitrie park

Noë Mitrie park spans 1.72 hectares and features two large paddling pools, children's playgrounds, and vegetation dominated by Louisiana bald cypresses with distinctive brown bark on their trunks creating a natural urban oasis.

Established in 1951 by Nantes municipality after purchasing property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Roy, the park was developed on previously flood-prone land crossed by the stream called « Gué robert ».

The name « Noë » derives from the local term for « noue » meaning wetland, reflecting the original geographical characteristics of this marshy area transformed into a family recreational space over decades.

Open daily from 8:45 AM to 7:30 PM during normal season and until 5:00 PM in winter, the park is accessible via bus lines 10, 11, and 12 serving the nearby Mitrie stop.

The Louisiana bald cypresses in the park create a distinctive ecosystem within Nantes urban environment, their root systems naturally adapting to the site's former wetland characteristics.
