Park Yasmina For Games

This guide to Park Yasmina For Games in Casablanca traces a small funfair opened in the nineteen fifties inside the colonial-era park once called Parc Lyautey and later renamed Arab League Park. It follows the swings and carousel from cheerful daily use into years of decay, paint peeling and weeds climbing through the concrete as birds moved into the rusted frames. Along the way it revisits the park's own nineteen thirteen design by architect Albert Laprade and the fountains built to cool its shaded paths. It leaves you wondering what eventually brought this quiet, bird-claimed corner back to life.
