This is a park that offers visitors a surprise at each of its numerous entrances, as these give access to very different spaces both in structure and in use. It is a comfortable park to be in, where you choose your area according to what you plan to do.

Local residents meet up there every day in the pine grove, to chat away on the terrace of one of the kiosk bars or watch while the kids are playing in one of the six children’s play areas, the largest of which is accessible. The palm grove has pétanque courts for the sport’s aficionados and a large 720 m2 area for people to let their dogs run free in.

It is also the first park where a new use was given to urban spaces with obsolete facilities. Located on the site of the city’s old abattoir, it is a good example of the new urban-strategy model that was embarked on with the advent of democracy and which was based on gentrifying the periphery while reclaiming the city centre. The new arrangement of urban spaces allowed for a steady growth of an extensive and quality public space, of which this park is a prime example.
