Olimpiai Park Budapest To Reopen Soon After 8-Month Renovation
The 10,000 square metre Olimpiai Park situated in district V just next to Kossuth tér will soon open the gates to a multifunctional urban meeting space, attractive for both visitors and residents. As part of the Észak-Lipótváros (northern part of district V) Renewal project, renovations and improvements have been going on since August 2013, and the reopening is planned for March this year.

According to the local government and based on the S-Tér Kft (landscape architects) renderings, the new park design will be dynamic and youthful.



The changes will include a bigger green space with more trees, a promenade, a 2000 square metre playground with a huge battleship climbing frame in the middle, a basketball court and a football pitch, new restrooms, a baby changing station, and a dog play/run area.

The monument dedicated to Hungarian Olympic champions and the five-ringed symbol will also be slightly redesigned. Along with the park, the surrounding streets and Széchenyi rakpart (quay) are also under reconstruction.
