## Why this park matters

Beyrouth Parc—often called Jardin de Beyrouth or Beirut Garden—is a compact hillside park right in Algiers-Centre’s Télemly neighborhood. It’s a quick, low-effort break from downtown traffic: terraced paths under palms and pines, benches for a pause, and a small playground area that pulls local families. Several reputable listings and directories corroborate the name, address and setting on Boulevard Colonel Krim Belkacem. Parks

### A short origin note you’ll actually use
Multiple Algerian sources state the site was formerly called Parc Mont-Riant and was donated to the city in 1936 by a woman named Janon. That’s useful context if you see older references to “Mont-Riant” on maps or in posts. – Votre meilleur guide

### A kid-focused angle (with a concrete detail)
Since 1965, the park has hosted the Musée de l’Enfant (Children’s Museum)—called out in both a French-language guide entry and Wikipedia’s page on Parc Beyrouth. It’s modest, but it’s one reason this park skews family-friendly. – Votre meilleur guide

## Practical details (confirmed)

– Exact location & neighborhood: 94 Bd Colonel Krim Belkacem, Télemly, Algiers-Centre. Several directories pin it precisely to that address. Parks
– Phone (as listed in directories): +213 553 53 71 28. This number appears across multiple local listings; treat it as a directory contact rather than an official hotline.
– Transit access: The park sits near Khelifa Boukhalfa on Algiers Metro Line 1; ETUSA bus line 15 also serves the area per the transport section noted on Wikipedia. That makes it one of the easier small parks to reach without a car.

—

## What you’ll find on site

– Shaded paths & terraces. Photos from travel directories show stepped walkways, mature palms and pines, and small seating areas—good for a 20–40 minute stroll between errands.
– Play & sport corners. Local guide write-ups mention a kids’ play area and a small multi-sport room attached to the park’s family programming around the Children’s Museum. – Votre meilleur guide
– “Beirut Garden” signage. Some English- and Arabic-language listings use “Beirut Garden” interchangeably with Beyrouth Parc; don’t be thrown by the dual naming.

## When to go (and what’s open)

Hours posted online aren’t consistent:

– Trip.com and some aggregators list the park open 24/7.
– Waze’s place page shows 07:30–20:30 daily for “Jardin de Beyrouth.”

What this means: treat the green space itself as generally accessible during daylight/early-evening hours, but museum/program spaces follow specific schedules that may change. If your plan hinges on the Children’s Museum, call ahead using the published directory number or check in person the day before. – Votre meilleur guide

## Accessibility & inclusivity notes

– A French business listing for the site explicitly notes wheelchair accessibility (“Accessible aux fauteuils roulants”). As with many older terraced parks, slopes and steps exist; use the main boulevard entrances for the most level access. On-the-ground conditions can differ from directory claims, so consider scouting the entrance if step-free access is essential.
– The setting is central and public-transport reachable (metro Line 1 + bus 15), which reduces the need for taxis or long uphill walks—useful for families, older visitors, or anyone minimizing exertion in summer heat.

## How to get there (step-by-step)

1. Metro Line 1 → Khelifa Boukhalfa station. Exit toward Boulevard Colonel Krim Belkacem. The park lies in the Télemly slope system above/beside the boulevard; allow a short uphill walk.
2. Bus → ETUSA 15 stops in the vicinity (useful if you’re already within Algiers-Centre).
3. Driving? Waze lists the park under “Jardin de Beyrouth,” which pulls the correct boulevard address for navigation. Parking is street-dependent.

—

## Pair it with nearby sights (short, realistic combos)

– Sacré-Cœur (Cathédrale du Sacré-Cœur d’Alger): Commonly referenced as nearby in directory roundups; easy to fold into the same hour-block for architecture + greenery.
– Downtown Algiers errands: Because Beyrouth Parc sits on a main boulevard in Algiers-Centre, it’s a convenient “reset stop” between administrative runs or café visits—not a half-day commitment.

—

## Expectation-setting (so you’re not disappointed)

– Scale: This is not the sprawling Jardin d’Essai du Hamma; think small neighborhood park for shade, a bench, and a breather. (If you want a destination-garden day, Hamma is the right call.)
– Condition: Like many central parks, upkeep can be uneven by season. Paths and plantings visible in recent images look serviceable and shady, but don’t expect manicured botanical-garden standards.

## Data freshness & caveats

– Hours conflict across sources (24/7 vs. 07:30–20:30). Treat evening visits with caution and verify on site; museum/program spaces will have tighter schedules.
– User ratings vary by directory and date. One mapping mirror cites a ~4.4 average as of 2022; assume ratings drift. Use current reviews in your map app the week you go.
– “Wheelchair accessible” is listed by a third-party directory; gradients in Télemly can still pose challenges. Confirm your entrance path before committing.

## Bottom line

If you’re basing yourself downtown and want a short, shaded reset without leaving Algiers-Centre, Beyrouth Parc does the job: trees, benches, kid-friendly nooks, and a bit of 20th-century Algiers history in the mix. Use Khelifa Boukhalfa as your transit anchor, plan museum time during the day, and treat posted hours as guidance—not gospel.

All details above are cross-checked against named sources; where third-party directory data is cited (phone, hours, accessibility), treat it as subject to change and verify day-of. Parks
