Parc Hentsch

Parc Gustave & Léonard Hentsch offers a serene escape in Geneva’s Charmilles district, situated at Avenue de Châtelaine 28. This expansive urban green space was inaugurated on June 28, 2015, after being donated to the City of Geneva by Bénédict Hentsch. The park occupies the site of a former stadium, transforming a dense urban area into a lush retreat featuring approximately 400 trees and 20,000 plants.

Visitors enjoy a variety of amenities designed for relaxation and activity. A large central lawn provides ample space for picnics, while water terraces and pedestrian walkways invite leisurely strolls. The park is particularly popular with families, boasting a well-designed playground suitable for children of all ages. Outdoor fitness facilities are also available for those seeking physical activity. The site is fully accessible, with wheelchair-friendly entrances and parking, and includes on-site toilets for convenience.

Public transport connections are convenient, with bus stops at Les Ouches, Guye, and Franchises located nearby. The park operates daily from midnight until just before midnight, with no admission fee required. It serves as a vital community hub, offering a peaceful environment for nature walks and social gatherings. The thoughtful landscaping and historical transformation of the site make it a notable destination for both locals and tourists seeking a quiet moment in Geneva. Whether enjoying the greenery or utilizing the recreational facilities, visitors find a welcoming atmosphere that blends natural beauty with urban utility.
