Where is Murdoch Park?
Murdoch Park is in Casablanca’s Habous and Mers Sultan area, at Victor Hugo Boulevard and Omar El Idrissi. The Casablanca tourism listing gives its address as Palais Royal, 19 Rue de Rome, Casablanca 20250.
The park dates to 1907, when it was created in tribute to British trader Murdoch. Engineer Albert Tardif designed it. Following redevelopment in 2006, it was renamed ISESCO Park, though Murdoch Park remains a familiar name.
What can you expect on a park visit?
Murdoch Park has shaded paths, play areas and sports facilities, with palm trees aligned along a central aisle among other plant varieties. Its setting and facilities make it a green space serving the surrounding Habous and Mers Sultan neighborhoods.
