Parc Henry-Chabert (French pronunciation:[paʁkɑ̃ʁiʃabɛʁ]), previously Parc de Gerland ([paʁkdəʒɛʁlɑ̃]) and also called Parc du Confluent ([paʁkdykɔ̃flyɑ̃]), 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 [fr]. 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, and was used during the French archery championship finals in 2007 and 2012.
