Parc du Heyritz

Parc du Heyritz is a public park in Strasbourg that extends along the Ill River and includes multiple green areas, walking paths, and a large water basin. The space features benches, children's playgrounds, and exercise equipment distributed throughout.

The area was originally wild green spaces along the Hospital Basin until authorities transformed it into a structured park beginning in 2010. Construction was completed in 2014, creating a new public green space for the city.

The main square is named Place de Vologda in recognition of the partnership between Strasbourg and this Russian city. Visitors can see this dedication reflected in the signage and information throughout this central area.

The park is easily accessible on foot and connects to cycling paths serving nearby neighborhoods throughout Strasbourg. Visitors can enjoy the space in most weather conditions, with pathways and seating areas positioned throughout for rest and exploration.

A distinctive feature is the 300-meter floating walkway crossing the Hospital Basin, which is planted with gardens creating natural habitats. This floating structure allows visitors to experience the water and vegetation in an unusual way.
