Parc du Grand Marais d'Amiens, Public park in Etouvie district, Amiens, France.
The parc du Grand Marais d'Amiens is a public park in the Etouvie district that spreads across a large area with walking paths, meadow routes, and sports facilities including an American football stadium. The space includes a covered hall and a skateboard bowl that serve visitors of all ages.
The park opened in 2003 on the site of a former landfill and required extensive soil restoration work. This transformation turned a contaminated area into a working public space.
A memorial stone at the bridge entrance honors resistance fighters Edmond Fontaine and Georges Quarante, created by local sculptor Leon Lamotte. This spot draws visitors interested in the area's wartime history.
The park is easy to reach and offers both shaded meadow areas and open grass spaces for different activities. Visitors should know that it gets busy in good weather, which can affect conditions on the playing fields.
The park borders the Canal de la Somme and connects through a bridge to the adjacent Camping des Cygnes. This direct link to the waterway makes it a natural starting point for exploring the canal routes.
