From the St. Charles train station take the subway (red line) to Ste. Marguerite. Then take the bus 47 to the Vielle Chapelle stop. It's the first stop along the coast. Head towards the water and you'll see the park. If you fly there, then the Marignane Airport is your stop. If you come by a car, here is the address:
Address: 197 Avenue Pierre Mendès France, 13008 Marseille, France
