Millenáris Park To Be Expanded
- 1 Aug 2016 9:00 AM
Work will soon start on expanding the Millenáris Park in the 2nd district in Buda, with a deep garage for 500 cars and landscaped gardens among the plans, the economy minister said. The designs for the 2.5 hectare site are ready and the procedure for obtaining the relevant permits is under way, Mihály Varga, the MP who represents the 2nd and 3rd districts of Budapest, said.
The park that replaces demolished buildings will also include playgrounds and a water recreation feature. Also two coffee houses will open at the site and charging for electric vehicles will be available, rehabilitating what had been a brownfield site.
Environmentally friendly energy technology will be used to power the development. Further, the rest of the 16-year-old Millenáris Park will be revamped with new paving and quality park installations, he said.
