This research was based on documentary research and direct observation. The review is completed by the inventory of the physical assets and surveys of municipal services, the district of Abidjan and users conducted in 2015 and 2020. The results revealed that there were 120 public parks and gardens available in the city of Abidjan. These parks and gardens are organised into four main categories: forest parks, classical gardens, and gardens integrated into the housing and road network. Furthermore, our results revealed that the state of the services offered by these green spaces is declining at various levels. This is due to the uneven distribution of public services t to satisfy public demand. The supply of services is also decreasing with the disappearance of 13.4% of public gardens and the degradation of 43% of these spaces. Despite public efforts to manage the heritage directly or indirectly via private partners and through residents, the situation remains problematic. The inadequacy of the funds allocated, the lack of synergy in the action of public services and the incivism of the population are proving to be at the origin of this situation. Moreover, the lack of ecological culture among 40% of the population and global warming. L’étude met en exergue les facteurs de l’état des parcs et jardins publics d’Abidjan. Elle s’appuie sur la recherche documentaire, l’observation directe. La revue est complétée par l’inventaire du patrimoine physique et des enquêtes auprès des services municipaux, le district d’Abidjan et des usagers menés en 2015 et 2020. Les résultats montrent que les 120 parcs et jardins publics dont dispose la ville d’Abidjan sont organisés en quatre grands types : les parcs forestiers, les jardins classiques, les jardins intégrés à l’habitat et au réseau routier. Mais, l’état de l’offre de services de ces espaces verts est en baisse et ce à divers niveaux. L’équipement public est inégalement réparti et insatisfaisant par rapport à la demande. L’offre de service est également en diminution eu égard à la disparition de 13,4% des jardins publics et à la dégradation de 43% de ces espaces. Malgré les efforts publics de gestion directe ou indirecte du patrimoine via des partenaires privés et l’action des riverains, la situation est alarmante. L’insuffisance des fonds alloués, l’absence de synergie dans l’action des services publics et l’incivisme des populations s’avèrent être à l’origine de cette situation. A cela s’ajoute le manque de culture écologique de 40% de la population et le réchauffement climatique. Cairn free access
