Parc départemental Pierre-Lagravère, often called by its old name, Parc de l'île Marante, is a public park located on the banks of the river Seine in Colombes, northwest of Paris. It is also the seat of Pôle sportif Piere-Lagravère (formerly Centre sportif municipal du Parc Lagravère), a public multisports complex. Its common name comes from its location on île Marante, a former island in the Seine. The island's now disappeared English-style garden designed by Claude-Henri Watelet, Parc du Moulin Joly, was a favorite getaway for the local nobility during the Ancien Régime. The area was also a popular subject for painters, especially impressionists such as Gustave Caillebotte and Claude Monet, who lived in Colombes and nearby Argenteuil, respectively, and frequently sailed the Seine. The island was joined to the mainland circa 1965 to provide foundations for the building of the A86 autoroute, which today stands between the park and downtown Colombes (several bridges connect both sides). The city of Colombes and the department of Hauts-de-Seine split jurisdiction over the newly accessible land. The city used parts of it to create a second sports and recreation district, separate from the historic Stade Yves-du-Manoir. Meanwhile, the department took over the surrounding areas and remodeled them as a public park loosely inspired by the old Watelet garden. The park opened in 1973, and in 1985 was renamed after Pierre Lagravère, who was the first president of the département upon its creation in 1968.

On 27 June 2023, Nahel Merzouk (25 February 2006 - 27 June 2023), a French 17-year-old of Moroccan and Algerian descent, was shot at point-blank range and killed by Florian Menesplier, a police officer, in Nanterre, a suburb of Paris, France. Initial reporting on the incident, informed by police statements, was later contradicted by a video posted online, which led to widespread protests and riots. Symbols of the state such as town halls, schools, police stations, and other buildings were attacked. The Interior Ministry reported that more than 5,000 vehicles had been set on fire, along with 10,000 garbage cans; nearly 1,000 buildings had been burnt, damaged or looted; 250 police stations and gendarmeries had been attacked; and more than 700 police officers had been injured.The killing—condemned by President Emmanuel Macron as "inexplicable" and "inexcusable"—became part of a broader public debate regarding aggressive French law enforcement, racial profiling, immigration, and the stakes of naming the suburban violence a "riot" rather than a "revolt". On 28 June, the president of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, asked deputies "to respect a minute of silence in Nahel's memory".
