Parks and Gardens

Parks

The Parks and Gardens Section, managed by the Superintendent of Parks and Gardens, was created under the Mayorship of Mr Raoul Rochecouste and is responsible for the creation and maintenance of municipal gardens, squares and traffic islands..

The Parks and Gardens section therefore plays a very important role regarding the preservation, protection, improvement and embellishment of the natural environment of the City of Port-Louis, which with its unique character and its past history make it a must on the sightseeing lists of most tourists.
Parks and Gardens provide the following advantages:

  1. These green spaces are the lungs of the city as they purify the polluted air and refresh the atmosphere of the city.
  2. They provide a green and shade area for the inhabitants in an attractive surrounding.
  3. In addition to the colours, coolness, quiet and pride which they bring to the city, they are ideal sites for placing the statues of great men of the past.


CITY GARDENS:
1. Company’s Garden

The Company’s Garden owes its name to “La Compagnie Française des Indes Orientales”, who possessed and administered the island from the year 1721 to 1764. The garden is bordered by Pouce Stream on one side and “Butte à Tonier” Stream on the other side.

2. Robert Edward Hart Garden

It was in 1931 under the mayorship of Mr Rochecouste that the site was being developed. The garden was partly completed two years later in 1933 and later in 1938 under the mayorship of Mr Atchia. The far end part where the sea marsh existed was developed and completed the same year. It was named “Pleasure Ground”. In 1959 the garden was renamed after the great Mauritian Poet Robert Edward Hart.

3. Marie, Reine de la Paix Garden

Its creation started in 1932 under the mayorship of S.Fouquereaux and was completed on the 15 August 1940.
