Other park highlights include a lake offering water activities such as boating and swimming. Children can enjoy mini-boat rides in a pool dubbed the Little Lake. There are also pony rides, two tourist trains, quads with pedals, swings, go karts, and a carousel to make the day more fun for younger visitors. The park is a popular attraction in Lyon and is frequently visited as part of a cycling or Segway tour of the city.
Tete d'Or Park encompasses a large stretch of Rhône River property in the 6th arrondissement bordering the city's main conference center and the Contemporary Art Museum. It can be accessed from Boulevard des Belges or Boulevard Stalingrad. The nearest metro stops are Masséna and Charpennes-Charles Hernu.
The park is open daily from early morning until after sunset, staying open well into the night from the middle of April through the middle of October. Although the park is at its most popular during the summer, it's a year-round attraction. Keep in mind the park closes on windy days for safety reasons.
One of the highlights of the park is the chance to take a ride on the "Little Train," a tourist train towed by a locomotive dating to 1948. This train circles the park, and a ride is a good way to orient yourself with what's on offer. It operates on Wednesdays, weekends, and public holidays, and is free for infants.
