If time allowsOutdoor

Also worth it for

An hour on the lake in a rowing boat, in the shade of the old trees, ten minutes from home

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it for a walk in the shade or an hour with the kids · it is not a destination, it is the neighbourhood park, and it is good at that.

The story

Rîșcani Park is the neighbourhood park on Strada Braniștii. The reviews describe it the same way throughout: an old park with big trees and a lake, best on hot days because it has shade. There is a playground, resurfaced paths and small boats to rent on the lake. Several people write that it looks visibly better since the renovation. Two of them add the same warning, which we pass on: the lake is not clean, so it is not for swimming.

What visitors wrote

“Old parc with old big trees and lake. Is perfect for hot sunny days. Don't recommend to swim in the lake. There is a playground for children. Many pigeons. Possibility to book a small boat or a catamaran. Also a small part of a parc was renovated.”

“A nice city park. Just plain and simple - walking paths and some local greenery. And a lake of dubious cleanliness”

“Nice place with clean benches and beautiful park good for recreation and short walk between trees on good top layer footpath. Worth for visit during a Spring Time when everything is Green and smell fresh of wild flowers.”
