Park on Gauguin Street in Zakaki – New large ecological complex of Limassol
Work has begun on restoring the largest city park after the Square.
The development project in the commercial center of Limassol will include dense plantings of trees and greenery, landscaping, children’s play areas, event spaces, pedestrian paths and will be accessible to everyone, but will also be convenient for people with disabilities.
