## About Drumul Taberei Park

Drumul Taberei Park is the main green space of the neighbourhood of the same name, in Sector 6, between Drumul Taberei boulevard, Brașov street and Târgu Neamț street. It was laid out in the 1960s, together with the first blocks of the neighbourhood, and in the communist era it was called Alexandru Moghioroș Park. Between 2013 and 2015 it was rebuilt from scratch; it reopened on 30 May 2015 and the greenhouses were inaugurated in 2019. It covers around 11–12 hectares.

At its centre lies an artificial lake of about 1.2 hectares, with a landing stage for boats, pedal boats and swan boats. On a peninsula in the lake rises the red pylon of the cable-stayed footbridge (the Bengaules Bridge), almost 192 metres long, a landmark of the park and the neighbourhood.

### What you can see

From the footbridge and the lakeshore the whole park is in view, with wide lawns, paths and a stepped amphitheatre at the water's edge. The park also has sports pitches (basketball, volleyball, football, handball, tennis, table tennis).

The **exotic greenhouses** have seven pavilions of about 1,500 square metres, with tropical, equatorial, Mediterranean and desert climates, and some 4,000 plants of around 300 species, among them a 300-year-old olive tree brought from Greece. Visits are free, in groups led by a guide.

### Good to know

The cable-stayed footbridge has been under repair since June 2026, with a contractual deadline in December 2026; during the works access to and under the footbridge may be restricted. The greenhouses are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and on other days entry is by group, at fixed times.
