Tineretului Park
Back to all places
The area of this park was once called the Valley of Lamentation due to piles of garbage and wild vegetation. In 1940 it was leased for 25 years to be a landfill. In 1965, the arrangement of a park began with the help of young people, hence the name Tineretului (Youth in Romanian) Park.
Currently, the Tineretului Park hosts the National Children’s Palace, a place where various courses and educational activities for children are organized. The Ioan Kunst Ghermănescu Event Hall next to it, with a capacity of 6000 seats, is the place for events, sports competitions, exhibitions and conferences. In the ’80s, the Children’s Town was built, the largest and most modern amusement park in Romania at that time, another attraction even today.
