Parc Chico Mendes is the largest public park in Avignon, stretching across six hectares in the Pont des Deux Eaux district. Known as the city’s “green lung,” it offers wide lawns, shaded groves, and a canal that attracts walkers and families alike. The park is equipped with a fitness trail, football pitch, skate bowl, and children’s playground, making it a lively destination for all ages. Thanks to participatory projects, new features such as a treetop adventure course and zip line have been added, delighting younger visitors. It is also a place for community gatherings, birthdays, and quiet relaxation under century-old plane trees. Whether for jogging, picnicking, or simply enjoying nature, Parc Chico Mendes embodies Avignon’s commitment to accessible green spaces and remains a cherished retreat just outside the historic city walls.
Avignon FranceParc Chico Mendes is a large public park located at 160 allée de la Sacristie, in the Pont des Deux Eaux district, just outside the medieval city walls of Avignon in Provence, southeastern France. Set along the Canal de Vaucluse and near the Chemin des Canaux greenway, it sits a short distance east of Avignon’s historic centre and main sights such as the Palais des Papes and the city ramparts, which can be reached on foot or by bike via the canal-side path.
