Completed Projects

Thanks to the donation of a private individual who chose to remain anonymous, a new, modern, and fully accessible playground was created at Pedion tou Areos Park. This formerly neglected space has now been revitalized with new infrastructure, high-quality play equipment, upgraded lighting, and a safe, inclusive design that welcomes all children. This initiative is part of the Municipality of Thessaloniki’s broader effort to provide functional, safe, and accessible play spaces throughout the city’s neighborhoods.

Eighteen new water fountains were installed along central streets, the New Waterfront, the White Tower, and City Hall areas in collaboration with EYATH. The goal is to ensure access to clean drinking water for all, improving public space quality and contributing to a more sustainable city.

The Municipality of Thessaloniki and Hellas Direct are upgrading school crosswalks as part of the “Safe Roads” project. By April 26, interventions were carried out at 17 locations across the city.

Thanks to the initiative of the Cultural Society, the New Waterfront has been returned to the public, transformed into a cultural space. This initiative proves that when there is a spirit of contribution and aesthetic vision, we can achieve many small victories for our city.

We enhance healthcare services with modern telemedicine equipment for home visits, facilitating health monitoring for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and people with mobility challenges. These services provide immediate access to care and connection with specialized health professionals.

This center offers care services and social engagement opportunities for the elderly, promoting active living and recreation while contributing to their well-being.

The playground, named “Neni’s Joy,” was constructed with a private donation. The space was enclosed with a new wall and fencing and outfitted with certified play equipment, safety rubber flooring, and urban furniture including benches, a drinking fountain, waste bin, and signage.

As part of a major environmental intervention, the Municipality of Thessaloniki has begun planting trees along the lower section of the city’s waterfront, from the Garden of Alexander the Great to the Thessaloniki Concert Hall. A total of 1,500 new trees will be planted, thanks to the generous support of EYATH. These new trees —of diverse species and considerable size— are set to significantly enhance the aesthetic and environmental quality of the waterfront, transforming its landscape as early as this spring and offering shade, greenery, and improved urban resilience.

Two new, modern bicycle repair stations have been installed along Thessaloniki’s waterfront, strategically located in front of the Garden of the Setting Sun and near the Thessaloniki Concert Hall. These stations allow cyclists to carry out minor repairs on the spot, enabling them to continue their journeys smoothly and encouraging the use of bicycles as a mode of transport. This initiative is part of the Municipality of Thessaloniki’s broader plan to promote sustainable mobility, enhance public infrastructure, and reduce the city’s environmental footprint.

The planting of 500 new trees on Thessaloniki’s waterfront, in the park of Alexander the Great next to the Royal Theatre, was made possible through the generous donation of the Macedonian Paper Company as part of its corporate social responsibility program. This initiative, following the planting of 700 trees at the city’s Zoological Garden, is part of the Municipality of Thessaloniki’s ongoing plan to enhance urban greenery and promote a more sustainable and livable city. The trees planted include species such as Judas trees, ornamental plum trees, plane trees, and ornamental cherry trees, contributing both to the environmental quality and the visual upgrade of the city’s seafront.
