The Park’s environmental vocation is accompanied by an educational component, supported by numerous explanatory panels. The arboretum is home to trees typical of the Sénart forest. A video look back at the design of biodiversity-friendly facilities.
A park open to all, families, sports enthusiasts and people with disabilities.
Thanks to the initiative of the town council and local associations, the Parc de l’Arboretum is accessible to all, and proudly boasts the Tourisme et Handicap label. To achieve this, it offers a system adapted to this audience. Half of the pathways are accessible to all, enabling visitors to explore the entire park. Signage and access to signage have been specifically designed with this in mind.
A park for city sports and associations
The link with the local associative fabric is fundamental to deciding on the uses of a new shared space open to the public.
