Hidden within the vibrant city of Nice, Phoenix Park awaits discovery. This isn’t just any park. It’s a fusion of botanical gardens and a zoo, a green sanctuary teeming with life. Opened in 1990, Phoenix Park emerged from a former marshland, a testament to transformative vision. The park’s very name, Phoenix Park, pays homage to the majestic Canary Island Date Palm that graces its landscape. Imagine, 350 palm trees representing 52 different species scattered throughout the park and its magnificent greenhouse. This greenhouse, known as the “Green Diamond,” isn’t just a glass structure. It’s a pyramid of tropical and subtropical wonders, reaching 25 meters high and covering 7,000 square meters. Inside, a vibrant tapestry of colors and scents unfolds, showcasing a world of exotic flora. Phoenix Park isn’t just about plants. Over 2,000 animals, representing over 70 species, call this park home. From playful lemurs and wallabies to the colorful aras and kookaburras, a symphony of wildlife awaits. Phoenix Park caters to all, from families seeking adventure to nature enthusiasts yearning for tranquility. Children can frolic in the play areas, while adults can wander through thematic gardens like the Mediterranean, Sensory, and Mayan Gardens. The park also stands as a symbol of ecological education and conservation. It actively participates in programs to protect endangered species and preserve vital habitats.
