It forms a critical part of the green corridor project along the banks of the Seine river in the Hauts-de-Seine department.

Its elongated layout follows the natural curve of the Seine for approximately two kilometers.
The park is equipped with specialized facilities for roller sports, a rarity in public parks of this size in the area.
