Environment
The City of Lyon is graced by three large city parks: Tête d'Or Park, with 105 hectares (262 acres) designed in the English garden style, includes a lake of 16 hectares (40 acres) created from a tributary of the Rhone, as well as a zoo and botanical garden; Parc des Hauteurs stretches across the west hill of the city and the Confluence Park in Gerland, the newest park which will include redevelopment of the Rhone riverbanks. Neighborhood gardens and squares are integrated in every district to enhance smaller spaces and contribute the quality of life in the area.
