TheParc de Bercy (French pronunciation:[paʁkdəbɛʁsi]; English: Park of Bercy) is a public park located along theRive Droite in the12th arrondissement ofParis.^[1] Development started in 1994 on the site of a former wine depot (thewine warehouses of Bercy, which in the early 20th century was the largest wine market in the world) before an official opening three years later by MayorJean Tiberi.^[2] Sponsored by PresidentFrançois Mitterrand, the project covered 14 hectares (34.6 acres).

Composed of three different gardens on different themes connected by foot bridges, the Parc de Bercy is Paris's tenth largest park. It is accessible byBercy andCour Saint-Émilion Métro stations, as well as by a foot bridge to the Mitterrand site of theBibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) on the other side of theSeine. TheAccorHotels Arena, colloquially known as Bercy in Paris, is located on the park's northern edge.^[3]

The park consists of three gardens designed by architects Bernard Huet, Marylène Ferrand, Jean-Pierre Feugas and Bernard Le Roy, assisted by landscapers Ian Le Caisne and Philippe Raguin between 1993 and 1997:

• The "Romantic Garden", which includes fishponds and dunes;
• The "Flowerbeds", dedicated to plant life;
• "The Meadows", an area of open lawns shaded by tall trees.

In the northeast of the park stands theCinémathèque Française (the former American Center) designed byFrank Gehry; on the raised terraces are the 21 sculptures ofRachid Khimoune's "Children of the World" installation, created in 2001 to honour children's rights.

The park is linked directly to the François Mitterrand site of theBibliothèque nationale de France by theSimone de Beauvoir footbridge over the Seine. The area used to be an important location for Paris wine warehouses; some remains of the industry can still be seen in the park. TheMusée des Arts Forains is also located here.

Bercy Skatepark is the second biggest in Paris covering an area of 800 square metres.^[4] It is covered and it has several ramps. Graffiti is written in spray paint on the walls and the ramps. Children, families, rollerbladers, skateboarders and BMXers visit the park.^[5]
