Parc Henry-Chabert
Parc Henry-Chabert, previously Parc de Gerland
(pronounced  [paʁk də ʒəʁlɑ̃nd]) and also called Parc du Parc Henry-Chabert
Confluent, is a large greenspace in Lyon situated on a former
industrial site in the south of the city near the confluence of the
Rhône and the Saone.[1] Construction began in 1996, and the
park was developed over an area of 80 hectares (200 acres).[2]
The initial two phases of construction concluded in 2000 and
2006, and were carried out by landscape architect Michel
Corajoud. The project was managed by Grand Lyon. The park
was renamed to Parc Henry-Chabert on 19 December 2020.[3]

The park includes several playgrounds, a skatepark and a

botanical garden.[4] It is situated next to the Stade de Gerland, Parc Henry-Chabert
and was used during the French archery championship finals in
2007 and 2012.
