Trees and shrubs are still being planted, but the playground, the campfire sites and the sports fields have already taken their final place in the Pünkösdfürdő park in Óbuda. The new park, now created on a previously grassy, barren dam site, has been divided into sections with different functions. When designing the area, the goal is to preserve the biodiversity of the place and maintain the ecological balance.

The construction of the Pünkösdfürdő Park in Óbuda started in January this year on the embankment between the Barát stream and Pünkösdfürdő. The dam is a regulated flood protection area, therefore, according to Főkert, their primary task is to maintain the ecological balance of the site, preserve biodiversity and emphasize green areas during the works.

In the northern part, an orchard with apple, pear, plum, sour cherry and almond trees will be established, but the experts will also plant woody, shrubby and grassy surfaces. The orchard has pétanque courts and a sandy beach volleyball court. The multifunctional sports field will be built further north, away from residential buildings.
