North Park
About

North Park, located in Sofia’s Nadezhda district, is one of the city’s largest and most revitalized green spaces. Originally developed in the 1960s and completed in 1985, it was built on former farmland and designed to serve the growing northern neighborhoods. The park spans 0.78 square kilometers and features a mix of broad-leaved and coniferous trees, winding alleys, and open lawns. A major renovation in 2014 introduced themed playgrounds, a man-made lake, and modern amenities, transforming it into a family-friendly destination. One playground mimics an airport, complete with terminals and planes, while another has a marine theme for toddlers. The Kakach River flows through the park, adding a natural touch to its urban setting. Remnants of socialist-era sculptures and play equipment still dot the landscape, offering a glimpse into its layered past. With outdoor fitness zones, cafés, and shaded paths, North Park blends nostalgia and renewal, making it a beloved retreat for locals in Sofia’s northwest.
