Public park, playground and relaxation area for residents

The City of Lyon officially opened the Suzanne Buisson Square on Tuesday, June 15 at 12:30 p.m., and has a new public park located at the corner of Rue de la Bouizard and Rue Gambetta on 3e Lyon region. Designed by GrandLyon Habitat, this new flower-filled, children’s play park honors Susan Boyson, the political and resistance fighter who was deported to Auschwitz in June 1944.

“This new park responds to the different requests of the residents,” explains Véronique Dubois-Bertrand, Mayor of 3 people.e In front of various elected officials as well as representatives of the green spaces of the City of Lyon and residents. The redevelopment of this space, formerly occupied by a monastery and then tennis courts, makes it possible to “create a pedestrian link between Gambetta and Abbey Bouzard Streets” but also “to create a playground for the children of the neighborhood and a relaxation area that allows a break in a landscaped area.”

Shared Hospitality

A certain number of locals “have been eagerly awaiting this new green space while the project has been underway for a few years” according to Nicholas Husson, the city’s nature assistant. One of the locals views this space as “more cheerful and less disgusting while it has been comfortable for a few years”. A resident of the house next door refers to the “disturbing noise” and suggests “close the garden at night.” “The space is closed, so there is a lot of echo. People who come here don’t necessarily notice it.”

The misfortune of some makes the happiness of others, as evidenced by the rejoicing of the directors of neighboring nurseries and schools, joyous in their celebration of a new children’s playground.

“Make the city welcoming and friendly”

“This park is the final touch to an operation that has been going on since 2005” confirms GrandLyon Habitat President François Thévenieau. “We started with the installation of the new buildings and finally finished this park that we have promised the residents since the start of the operation,” he said. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
