Parcul Copiilor Ion Creangă (German: Children's Park Ion Creangă ) is a park in the Cetate district in Timișoara . It was created in 1891 and stretches between the Michelangelo Bridge and the Decebal Bridge along the Bega .
description
A forerunner of the park was laid out in 1858, originally it was an oval ice rink , in Hungarian Korczolya egylet , which was embedded in a triangular green area north of the then connecting road to the factory town . It was located in the area where Strada Nicu Filipescu joins Bulevardul Revoluței 1989 and was therefore not part of today's park area.
In 1891, on the occasion of the " Universal Exhibition for Industry and Agriculture", today's park was finally built south of the connecting road to the factory town. At that time it still formed a unit with the neighboring Rosenpark and the ice rink and was initially named Franz-Joseph-Park in honor of the Austrian emperor . The over nine hectare facility enabled the connection between today's Parcul Regina Maria and the inner city.
Initially, the ice rink ceased to exist in 1909 with the construction of today's Bulevardul Revoluței in 1989. After the First World War , the northeastern part of Franz-Joseph-Park was separated from the Rosenpark and redesigned with the construction of today's Bulevardul Michelangelo. The part treated here was henceforth called Parcul Mihai Eminescu and was finally rededicated to a children's park in 1951. This was initially called Parcul Pionierilor ("Pioneer Park"), based on the socialist mass organization Organizaţia Pionierilor, founded two years earlier . After the revolution of 1989 it was first called Parcul Copiilor ("Children's Park"), before it was finally given the addition of " Ion Creangă " in 2006 .
The children's park was completely redesigned and equipped by a German company from 2006 to 2012 for two million euros. The new opening took place on the occasion of International Children's Day on June 1, 2012. The park is divided into 23 themed areas according to age groups. The fairy tale forest, the land of the giants, the land of the Lilliputians, the Indian land, the dark forest or Snow White and the seven dwarfs are just a few of them. The electric train, but also small carriages pulled by ponies, are very popular with children. The small open-air theater was also renovated and enlarged. Children's shows and puppet theater performances take place here regularly. The water and sewerage network was renewed, as were the avenues and green spaces. A pastry shop, a café and a pier were built on the banks of the Bega . The carousel, open-air chess, slide shows and the climbing castle are just as popular.
