ALESCO Garden

ALESCO Garden (Jardin Alecso) is a significant urban green space located in the Sidi Othmane neighborhood of Casablanca, covering approximately 8 hectares (20 acres). Originally created in 1984, the park underwent an extensive 12-month rehabilitation project by local authorities, officially reopening in August 2025 on the occasion of Youth Day. The renovated park is a vital recreational hub, featuring new amenities such as fountains, vast tree-lined paths, shaded resting areas, a children's play area, a walking circuit, sports courts (like basketball and pétanque), and an open-air theater. Notably, the park implements sustainable practices by utilizing treated wastewater from the Mediouna purification station for irrigation.
