Transformation

The park near my home has a new appearance. I had no time to go there for a few months and this week I was totally amazed by the way it has changed. I've known it for ever, and walked there in its bad and not-so-bad days, but now it became a really nice and new place: new alleys, tidy grass, terraces, nice music, lots and lots of playgrounds, sports terrains (football, basketball, tennis, roller skating), a reading point, new benches and furniture, flowers ans exotic plants, two scenes for cultural events and entertainment.
People seem to enjoy it, I've been there even around midnight and it was full of people biking, running or just having a beer at a terrace. And, what's more, they seem to appreciate it, to keep it very clean and in good shape. Amazingly, I saw a young man picking up a soda can left by someone else (the only piece of garbage, I must admit), and throwing it in a bin. Maybe things are changing for the better. I'm seriously considering voting for this mayor again.

Some enjoy walking...



...biking...on only one wheel!

...or even swimming.

This is a reading point for kids, empty because it was the nap-time. I saw some kids there the other day.

The poster for an all-summer event called "Bucharest, summer district"- theater and music performances in four parks every week-end day from July until September.

The older performances place in the park.

And the new one.

One of the many playgrounds.

And a zip-line.
