Frequented by neighborhood
joggers, this sports ground welcomes every year the arrival of
Grand Raid, a mountain race that crosses the island from the
Sud Sauvage. In the past,
horse races and races of donkeys and
pigs were organized there, and were lively, popular successes; the site supported a hippodrome that has now disappeared. It also had, for a time, a
velodrome at the beginning of the 20th century. == References ==
