Parc de Beauregard, inaugurated in 2002, marks Rennes' first park creation in the 21st century. This 7-hectare park, situated in the Beauregard district, was conceived as an integral part of the area's development launched in 1993. Designed by the agency Hyl and artist David Boeno, the park's theme revolves around the sun and the allure of light. The park is laid out as a series of terraces, offering a diverse landscape with hedgerows and an orchard to the south. A key feature is the monumental solar calendar created by Aurélie Nemours, known as the Alignement du XXIe siècle, located near the FRAC Bretagne. The FRAC Bretagne (Fonds Régional d'Art Contemporain Bretagne) itself is an attraction, hosting contemporary art exhibitions. At the park's highest point sits the Maison du Parc, adorned with a traditional sundial, while a ground-level installation allows visitors to read the time using their own shadow. Fitness equipment is also available for public use in the park's center. Parc de Beauregard is designed to be accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. It serves as a recreational space, offering a blend of art and nature. The park hosts events such as the Fête de Beauregard, organized by the Vivre à Beauregard association.
