Green spaces for leisure and community

In 2017, the construction of a community space, recreation and leisure centre in Fót (HU) began in the area of the abandoned Somlyói lake, following the decision of the city administration. The goal is to ensure developments that reflect residents’ needs, through local government, national and European Union funds, and the cooperation of local NGOs and local stakeholders. In order to serve the needs of the urban population as widely as possible, the area hosts the KRESZ track and adventure park for children, a roller track, a pump track, a house for young people, a forest bike track, a promenade with rest areas, barbecues and a bistro next to the lake. The main goal of the project is to create both a community space in nature and to sustainably develop a neglected area.
