The newly opened Görgey Park in Csepel was renovated based on observations collected from the public. A fountain, running track and other sports equipment can be found on the green, where 40 new saplings have also been planted.

The new Görgey Park on Csikó Promenade was symbolically opened on 20 November – reports csepel.hu. The new park was created through a community design process on 16,000 square metres, on the plot which was until recently, occupied by the dilapidated building of the Görgey School. Mayor Lénárd Borbély and Lívia Tukács, the Sustainability Specialist of the Local Council, opened the park together.

The dangerous old building was torn down in 2019. Before work began the Local Council casked locals how the area should be utilised in a survey. The plans for the development project were finalised base on their contributions.
