Work has begun on restoring the alleys in Bucharest\u2019s Her\u0103str\u0103u Park, as some were severely affected by the collapse of the bank and were facing a real risk of falling. The restorations will be complete in 2026.<\/p>\n
Her\u0103str\u0103u Park is nearly 100 years old and has been worn down by weather events and other phenomena.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first interventions have already been made to secure a section of the alley, where the lake\u2019s bank collapsed due to erosion and weather conditions. However, this is a temporary measure before more extensive works will be done, according to local authorities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe alley between the Rowing Club and the Fishermen\u2019s Area is severely affected and presents a real risk of collapse. Today we started safety works, a necessary and immediate intervention long awaited by all those who visit the park,\u201d announced interim mayor Stelian Bujduveanu, who was in Her\u0103str\u0103u together with city manager Lucian Judele.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are continuing the procedures to obtain the necessary authorization for the major bank consolidation project. We estimate that starting in October, we will be able to launch this complex project. As part of it, we will also modernize the lighting system, so that Her\u0103str\u0103u will be a safe and welcoming park even in the evening,\u201d explained Bujduveanu.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beyond restorations, cleaning and sanitation works are also being carried out in the largest park of the capital.<\/p>\n
The entire process will continue throughout 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRehabilitation works will take place in two stages: the first stage, from October 2025 until April 2026, and the second stage starting in the fall of 2026. Our goal is that by 2026, Her\u0103str\u0103u Park will look like the parks in European capitals,\u201d city manager Lucian Judele said.<\/p>\n
