The Villette Park is located between the Paris ring road and the Saint-Denis Canal, with the Ourcq Canal following through it. The Villette Park covers 55 hectares and is the largest park in Paris. It combines areas for nature and architecture, play and leisure, exhibitions shows and debating: (Cité des Sciences, Grande Halle, Cite de la Musique, Maison de la Villette, a real submarine, Zenith concert hall, spaces for large tents and cabarets, dance floor...). The canal de l'Ourcq runs through the Park, which has many water features: fountains, ornamental ponds, waterfalls...
Two walkways have been designed for visitors in a hurry: the first crosses the Park from the porte de Pantin to the porte de la Villette; the second, is elevated and runs along the south bank of the canal.

The Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie in the Parc de la Villette. It is a huge building housing a vast science museum, a media center, exposition halls, and other facilities, all oriented towards science and technology. Although “la Cité,” as it is sometimes called, is little known to tourists, it is well known to residents.

In the south of the Park there is the Grande Halle, which had been a beef market since 1867 and was transformed during into a cultural space.
Close to the Lions Fountain is located the "Cite de la Musique", which was completed in 1994 and is the work of Christian de Portzamprac. Finally, on the edge of the canal is the Zenith concert hall.
