Jardin Hans-et-Sophie-Scholl, Public park in 17th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Jardin Hans-et-Sophie-Scholl is a public park in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, located near Boulevard du Bois-le-Prêtre. It features walking paths, open grassy areas, and separate play zones designed for children of different ages.
The park opened in 2021 and honors two German siblings who resisted the Nazi regime in the 1940s. They belonged to a movement that distributed leaflets to awaken public conscience against the crimes of their government.
The park is named after two German resistance fighters, serving as a reminder of their courage during a dark period. Local residents gather here regularly, making it a meaningful meeting point that reflects the neighborhood's commitment to remembering historical figures.
The park sits near the tram line 3b, making it easy to reach by public transport from other parts of the city. Different sections are designed for specific age groups, so it helps to know what each area offers before visiting with children.
A former vehicle storage yard within the park grounds has been converted into an indoor five-a-side football facility open to local youth. This transformation shows how abandoned urban spaces can be reclaimed for sport and community use.
