Creation of the “Drosia” Pocket Park in Ano Poli
As part of the Municipality of Thessaloniki’s initiative to create new pocket parks across the city, the “Drosia” Pocket Park was delivered to the public at the intersection of Bouboulina and Hesiodou Streets in Ano Poli. The project was made possible thanks to the donation and collaboration of ENGAIA and addresses a critical need for more greenery in an area with limited open space. The new park offers a welcoming and well-designed public space, contributing to improved microclimate conditions and enhancing the quality of life for local residents.
Amphipoleos Pocket Park
This 170m² park includes 456 plants (mainly aromatic herbs such as lavender, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and viburnum) and trees (lime, plane, bitter orange). Urban equipment was upgraded, and natural materials were used exclusively — minimal concrete and no cement. The park is lit using renewable energy for “smart” lighting.
We invite you, through the “I Participate in My City” program, to support initiatives that improve daily life and make Thessaloniki more sustainable, friendly, functional, and resilient.
