Parc Sisley, Urban park in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, France

Parc Sisley is a 10,000 m² urban park on rue Professeur Paul Sisley in Lyon's 3rd arrondissement. It was designed by D. Fontaine and holds large oaks, plane trees, catalpas, lime trees, chestnuts and a Chinese raisin tree. A children's play area has a red tower with a blue pitched roof, a curving orange slide and a smaller red tower with a yellow slide, beside a pétanque ground.

The park occupies the former private grounds of the Vulliod-Ancel dyeing works, whose managers' house stood at 7 and 9 rue de Montbrillant. The city of Lyon bought the property in 1975 and turned the garden into a public park; the original house no longer stands. The adjoining joinery workshops and a workers' house were later sold to the Charles de Foucault school, and the industrial site closed in 1996.

In parc Paul Sisley, neighbors gather on the dedicated areas to play pétanque, a classic French lawn bowling game. These simple spaces are a regular meeting point for people from the surrounding streets.

The park is located on rue du Professeur Paul Sisley in the 3rd arrondissement and is easy to reach by public transport. Entry is free, and it is open every day, with later closing times during the warmer months.

Although this park sits in one of Lyon's busiest arrondissements, it is largely unknown to visitors and used almost entirely by locals. On sunny days, students, retirees, and dog walkers share the same paths, giving the place a genuinely everyday character that is hard to find closer to the city center.
