Lies a few km from the city centre.
How to get there: take e.g. bus 50 to the bus stop at Continental or at Merkur. I chose the first stop, then you need to go west 50-100m to be able to walk under the boulevard. It is possible to follow Arhimedova street (keep to the left where there are stairs) and then a path to the north close to Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (this path is not shown in Google Maps) This path is a little scary, you are in a forest close to a a wall and with lots of garbage. There is a hole in the wall where you get out on a wider path. It is safer from the second stop, then just walk 400m north at Makedonska Brigada 400m and then take to the left.
The park: It is very empty, I thought it should be many people, fountains, possibilities to buy coffeé etc. It is more used for exercises as running, walking and biking. The man running track is about 1600m and marked every 100m. The rest are smaller paths. There is also a tomb easily found via Google Maps. Not much to see, looks very abandoned. There is a small fountain with water, close to the unsafe area with the forest. When I was there a man that seemed homeless came out...
Read moreThe park is very spacious and contains both open field part and forest part. South entrance opens into huge grassy field. Right at the entrance there is a designated workout area. Along the south boundary of the field, along the wall, there are benches and tables with plenty of space among them. Along the north boundary runs a pebble path that branches into the forest part of the park. The forest part is intersected with a main pebble path and some smaller dirt roads. The main pebble path offers couple of wooden workout areas that also contain benches. Although running through the forest, there is almost no shade at all along the path, so the walk will not be very pleasant on warm sunny days. The park is clean, there's almost no litter at all, although there are no trash cans. The open field opens into pretty view of the city skyline. As it offers suprisingly small amount of shade areas, best time to visit will be in...
Read moreAmong the best places for relaxing for the whole family. It's quiet even being close to the city. The Park is big enough for a long walk and not crowded. If you are a nature lover, autumn is enjoyable as the park is colourful. During the summer days, this place is best for relaxing with friends and getting away from the city's heat and traffic as the park has one part under forest. The park has a large open field where most of the people stay and play. There are many wooden benches with tables, also small, open, wooden "houses" with benches and tables for 10+ pleople. We enjoyed one of the tables located in the forest. Also, found a wooden tower, something like guard tower. The view from above is amazing, but wouldn't recommend it for children as it's not safe. The top level od the tower is shaking a little bit, even in...
