Gare d’eau, Urban park in Béthune, France.
The Gare d'eau spans 4.5 hectares and contains a central pond surrounded by walking paths, playgrounds, and numerous sitting areas throughout the grounds.
Originally constructed as a water supply depot, this space underwent substantial modifications in the 1970s, transforming from an industrial site into a public park.
The park functions as a central meeting point where residents participate in community events, fishing activities, and outdoor gatherings throughout the year.
The grounds include dedicated parking facilities, children's play equipment, and specific areas equipped with tables for outdoor dining and group activities.
Two original canal arms remain within the park, preserving elements of its former role as a water transportation hub in northern France.
