Redevelopment of Alkminis Park in Charilaou
The fully renovated Alkminis Park, located behind the “Kleanthis Vikelidis” stadium in the Charilaou district, has been delivered in full operation. Thanks to the donation of PARKOTECHNIKI S.A. and Trace and Chase S.A., a new playground for older children was created, the existing playground was completely refurbished, and a new basketball court was constructed. At the same time, the Municipality of Thessaloniki enhanced the green space with the planting of 30 new trees and carried out a comprehensive aesthetic upgrade of the area. With 1,200 sq.m. of new greenery and upgraded infrastructure, Alkminis Park now serves as a modern, accessible, and welcoming space for children, families, and residents of the neighborhood.
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.
