It's one of the few parks in Strasbourg with free-access barbecues installed by the city, making it a go-to spot for weekend cookouts with friends.

Cronenbourg's backyard barbecue park
Parc de la Bergerie is the kind of park that doesn't try to impress you — and that's exactly why locals in Cronenbourg love it. Spread across 13 hectares of gently rolling, tree-dotted greenery, it's a proper neighborhood lung where you'll see joggers doing their loops, parents pushing strollers, and groups of friends gathered around the barbecue area on sunny weekends. The city installed free-access barbecues here, which is a rarity in Strasbourg and makes this park a standout for casual cookouts — just bring your own charcoal and food.
The terrain is vallonné (hilly), which gives it more character than your average flat city park. There's a large fountain, plenty of picnic tables, and enough open space that it rarely feels crowded, even on nice days. It's bordered by the rue d'Hochfelden and the railway line, so you do get some ambient noise, but once you're deeper into the park, it fades into the background.
It's not a manicured garden or a destination park — don't come expecting flower beds and sculptures. What you get is a functional, well-used green space that serves the community well. If you live nearby or want a low-key afternoon outdoors with a grill and some friends, this is your spot.
