South Park is a lusciously green patch of land among some of the most modern neighboorhoods in the capital city of Bulgaria. South Park covers an area of 1,48 km². The project for this park was accepted and developed in 1972. The idea of the project was to create a park that works as an extention of Vitosha Mountain. Visitors can find proof of this all around the park, as it has numerous different terrain forms, untouched forests a stunning view of the mountain from specially designed open areas, several man-made lakes and the main entrance to the park meets the end of Vitosha Boulevard. The infrastructure of the park is very friendly to all kinds of outdoor activities, as there are plenty of paths, which are, for the most part, very well-lit during the night, several playgrounds, a concert stage and a good amount of benches and gazebos. What makes the park unique is the harmony of wild and cultured. South Park is a favorite plass for extreme biking, as the terrain allows for various tracks and jumps. Walking along the paths and alleys of the park visitors will also notice informative signs regarding the different bird species that inhabit the South Park right next to wild ducks playing in a pond. The park is alive all year round and especially in the spring and summer. There are always masses gathered there as the trees, fountains and ponds provide a great get-away from the sun. There is a menagerie of small fast food and ice cream stands, as well restaurants, cafés, stalls for cotton candy and even toys. South Park is also the host of the annual Flower for Gosho festival. Held in the beginning of summer, it is a memorial concert dedicated to one of Bulgaria’s most beloved rock musicians Georgi Minchev. On one of the alleys neighbooring the stage, there are always inflatable slide castles, trampolines, bumper cars and other attractions. There is a train-like vehicle that takes visitors on tours around the park for a small fee and departs hourly, One can also rent a bicycles and bicycle carts to roam the park as you wish.

"Our park" we call it (for others it's the Dogs' park), as it is in close proximity to our home. This is a favourite place for our family come rain or come shine, on foot and on bicycles. The park has small hills to accommodate different companies and plenty of trees to hang hammocks or celebrate a birthday. The park has well kept grass and alleys. Culturally wise - two museums are situated here (The Man and Earth and Gallery of Contemporary Art), and one of the smaller malls (Park Centre - where you can grab snacks and drinks, or use the toilets). Concerts and festivals in the open happen there and the atmosphere when warmer weather hits is just invigorating with people on picnic blankets and leisuring in the sun.

South Park in Sofia is a true urban oasis! The park is nice, beautifully maintained, and offers something for everyone. Whether you're looking to take a peaceful stroll, have a picnic with family, or enjoy some outdoor activities, this park has it all. The greenery is lush, and the winding paths are perfect for walking or cycling. There are also plenty of benches to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The playgrounds are well-designed, making it a great spot for kids too. A must-visit for anyone looking to unwind in nature!

Gigantic and beautiful parkin the middle of Sofia. It's incredibly clean and gets many many visitors, old and young. There's a lot to do for kids, you can rent bicycles for 2/3/4, there's lots of water, places to eat. The view is absolutely gorgeous. With fountains, tall trees filled with squirrels, the mountains in the background. Lots of places to sit in the sun and the shade. Food and drink stalls and tiny little bars you can sit at. We've been there one afternoon, and it wasn't nearly enough. There's so much to see!

My favourite place to bring kids, meet friends, get a quick coffee or a bite, walk for miles from downtown Sofia to the once "posh" Lozenets. You can observe occasional wild life though quite rare (be careful for water snakes around the ponds in summer). Good biking trails although they are shared with pedestrians so be careful. Options to hire a rickshaw or a bike. It's an urban park so don't imagine huge remote areas, but there are some nice less crowded spots. There are benches all over the park.

The South park of Sofia is quite large and well maintained green space with a lot of trees, some small ponds and fountains, plenty of benches and many well situated sculptures. It is a very popular place for walks, picnics, sports, etc., so logically it could be a bit crowded, especially during the weekend. Still, if you want to spend a pleasant couple of hours (of even a whole day) outside with friends, South park is definitely a good choice.

Description
The animated series is not for children. In fact, its goal seems to be to offend as many as possible as it presents the adventures of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman. The show has taken on Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, politicians of every stripe and self-important celebrities. Oh, and Kenny is killed in many episodes.
