Wednesday, 15 May 2024

Ruse Municipality won a project for the construction of a new green zone under the Cross-Border Cooperation Program "INTERREG VI-A Romania — Bulgaria 2021-2027" The project "ReNature, Green Modeling of Urban Areas, Creation of New Systems for Outdoor Recreation and Entertainment" envisages the construction of a park in Ruse district. "Zdravets-Iztok" on a municipal property on Blvd. "Lipnik" No121.

It will be implemented within 36 months in partnership between Ruse Municipality and Giurgiu Municipality, and a contract is to be signed in the coming weeks. The value of the project is EUR 1,746 418. 94, of which 80% from the European Regional Development Fund, 18% national co-financing and 2% own participation of Ruse Municipality amounting to EUR 34 992. 38.

The planned plot of land on which the park will be located has an area of 25 acres. It will be built with natural and environmentally friendly materials instead of the so-called. "grey infrastructure". There is a separate area for picnics, events and meetings, as well as a children's playground. The alleys will have waterproof pavement and the lighting - with solar power. Suitable park furniture and a fountain with drinking water are planned. The vegetation will be of local plant species, typical for the Danube Plain and the Danube River, and the grass mixtures - drought-resistant, sun-loving and with extensive maintenance.

It is envisaged to build a video surveillance system and an automated irrigation system. Accents in the park are the fountain and the "Biodiversity" corner in which to develop a herb garden, a garden attracting insects and birds, a garden with spices, urban agriculture, etc.

The implementation of the project aims to improve the quality of the environment, the qualities of life and the comfort of living by creating a favorable and environmentally friendly environment that will shape new spatial solutions and physical renewal of the territory.
We would like to remind you that at the end of June 2023, Ruse Municipality held an inquiry among the citizens of Ruse, in which 2575 people participated. Over 98% of them welcomed the idea of establishing a park area in this property. Mayor Pencho Milkov announced that although the neighborhood is well landscaped, residents do not have a park near their homes. The green space will be beneficial for them as well as for all citizens of Ruse and guests of the city.
