Bordei Park

About Bordei Park

Bordei Park is a small, quiet park in northern Bucharest, in Sector 1, on the shore of Lake Floreasca, just downstream of the lock that links the lake with Lake Herăstrău. A road bridge separates it from King Michael I Park (Herăstrău). It was laid out from 1936 and covers about 3.3 hectares, with the entrance from Mircea Eliade boulevard. Because it stays in the shadow of its much larger neighbour, it is usually less crowded.

What you can see

The park has paths paved with block pavers, lined with wrought-iron benches, and wide lawns on the waterfront among old trees, including willows and plane trees. The most pleasant stroll is along the lake, where the water can be seen between the trees and, on the shore, leisure buildings. The bust of the poet Nichita Stănescu stands among the trees. There is a playground for children. The lake is home to ducks and other waterbirds, and the park is a good stop on the way to Herăstrău.

Good to know before you go

Getting there

By car: the park lies north of the centre, on Mircea Eliade boulevard, between Lake Floreasca and Lake Herăstrău, in the Primăverii area. Parking spaces nearby are limited.

Public transport: the nearest metro stations are on line M2, Aviatorilor and Herăstrău; from there you can walk or take a bus. Check the routes on the STB website.

Where to park

The park has no car park of its own for visitors. Spaces on the surrounding streets are generally paid, and the area is busy at weekends because of the proximity of Herăstrău.

Fees & discounts

Entry to the park is free.

Rules

Follow the signs in the park: pets only on a lead, do not pick the flowers and do not throw rubbish on the paths or into the lake. Take care on the paths, which are also used by children.
