Parcgeorgesvalbon Canardscoti
57Before becoming the green lung of the 93, the site was flooded marshland, crossed by streams and, in the 1960s, a shantytown: La Campa.
Year after year, bridges, walkways, wooded areas and lakes were laid, without ever betraying the original terrain. A park made by human will, piece by piece, that has retained a raw âme.
With its 417 hectares that breathe – à straddling La Courneuve, Dugny, Saint-Denis, Stains and Garges – it’s the thirdème largest park in’Île-de-France afterès Vincennes and Boulogne.
And it’s all the rarer for being a Natura 2000 listed park covering 310 hectares, where the long-eared owl, the short-eared dowitcher and the natterjack toad live in peace. And for us? 7 lakes, rose garden, walks, riding centre, varied terrain, a nature buffet 365 days a year.
Parc Georges-Valbon seen by droneLong a supporter of theFête de l’Humanité, the park vibrated under hundreds of thousands of visitors before welcoming the Parc des Jeux during the Paris 2024 Games – 10,000 people/day, géants, concerts, shows, food trucks – it was géant and popular.
From 4 to 6 July 2025, the Multitude festival will be taking place in the Parc de Georges Valbon, with legendary artists such as Fianso, Vitaa and Keblack taking to the stage for free concerts, fashion shows, stand-ups, parades, entertainment and a funfair!
A varied offering: – Sporting: short and long-distance footpaths (PR 19, GR 655), 8 orienteering routes, cycle tracks, paddling on the Grand Lac, 3 fitness areas with fixed facilities (bicycles, body-building and exercise equipment), table tennis and multi-games tables. – For children: Several play areas. – For dogs: 4 caniparks. – Détente: Fixed deckchairs, water jets, picnic table, refreshment bar, bike hire. – Événements: Fête du miel, night show every autumn. – Equestrian centre run by UCPA.– Sports and nature activities and workshops: see the park calendar or ask at the Maison du parc.
Georges Valbon ParkDuring the Olympic Games, the park didn’t pretend: the biggest live-site in the Paris region, with a climbing wall, skatepark, 3×3 fields, panoramic tower, canoeing on the lake, all free of charge. And as a legacy? 13 hectares newly de-polluted, the “Terrain des Essences” (former military dépôt), with wildlife refuge, observatory, skatepark and playground inaugurated in May 2025.
