BUDAPEST PARK IN GREEN CITIES EUROPE CONTEST

 

Northern Budapest’s Pünkösdfürdő Park, the winner of Hungary’s National Green Cities Europe Award, will represent the country in the Green Cities Europe international contest in Brussels in October, Mayor Gergely Karácsony said on Facebook on Wednesday. Karácsony said the Pünkösdfürdő project, implemented by the city council and municipal park manager FŐKERT, was one of the projects launched and completed by Budapest’s incumbent leadership. Pünkösdfürdő is the city’s first “rain park” with 600 trees, shrubs and wild flowers, Karácsony said.
