La Jarre Park

The 2 hectares of Mediterranean vegetation as well as all the fruit trees offer to the residents a green space of relaxation with many outdoor activities.
In some squares, the playgrounds can still be used but are under the responsibility of parents who must ensure that health regulations are respected, including physical distance.


The landscaped park of La Jarre (9th arrondissement) is part of the Urban Renovation Project (PRU) in the La Soude / Les Hauts de Mazargues sector, managed by Marseille Rénovation Urbaine, a structure that has since been integrated into the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis.
The park is the central public green space of a neighborhood undergoing renovation and expansion.
Located between the avenue of the same name, the Boulevard Urbain Sud (BUS) and the Centaure theater, the 20,000 m² of Mediterranean vegetation (2 hectares) and all the fruit trees offer residents a green space for relaxation with many outdoor activities.

Beyond its vocation as a space for exchange, sharing and social mixing, the Parc de la Jarre is intended to be a "Provencal stopover" also serving as a link between different neighborhoods. For this purpose, it integrates a soft path formed by the "allée des calanques" offering a bicycle and pedestrian path.

The creation of this 54th park in Marseille is fully in line with the "EcoQuartier" approach supported by the actors and inhabitants. This title promotes quality and sustainable development for the area, and is a vehicle for new ways of life.
