Parc Zénith, Urban park in 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, France

Parc Zénith is an 8,731 m² urban park in Lyon's 3rd arrondissement, on the former RVI industrial site. A flat central lawn, bordered by a low wooden slat fence, holds three staked young trees with small signs; a paved walkway with a tall grey lamp post and a low concrete bench runs along one side. A small stream fed by rainwater crosses the grounds.

The park opened in June 2018 on the former RVI industrial site, between Rue Feuillat, Rue Félix-Rollet, Rue Professeur-Rochaix and Avenue Lacassagne. Its name comes from the first carburetor built on this site in the Rochet-Schneider automobile workshops from 1907, chosen by a residents' vote. Georges Képénékian and Catherine Panassier inaugurated it, and Rue Félix-Rollet was created at the same time to link Rue Feuillat and Rue Professeur-Rochaix.

A large mural on the Ecohlcité school wall shows the four seasons alongside landmarks like the Basilica of Fourvière and the Opera. The artwork connects local identity with the everyday surroundings of visitors.

The park has three main entrances on Avenue Lacassagne, Rue Rochaix, and Rue Rollet for easy access. The nearby metro stations Monplaisir-Lumière and Grange Blanche make it straightforward to reach the area.

The park was designed from the outset with a health impact assessment led by the ORS Rhône-Alpes, comparing residents' health before and after the layout. This led to pollen-free plants and no conifers, avoiding processionary caterpillars. Since early 2020, following 80 recommended measures, it has been a smoke-free zone for a three-year trial.
