After decades of neglect, Dumitru Rîșcanu Park on Braniștii Street has once again become the heart of the Rîșcani sector, with leisure areas and spaces dedicated to sports and recreation.
The modernization of this park, one of the largest green spaces in Chișinău, with an area of over 6 hectares, was carried out in stages. If just a few years ago the park was in a deplorable state, today this place has been reborn and has become an attraction point for the residents of the capital.
Chișinău City Hall has built an ultramodern Sports Complex, unique in the Republic of Moldova. The area offers football, beach volleyball, basketball, tennis, table tennis, padel, kickboxing, fitness spaces, as well as comfortable showers, restrooms, and changing rooms.
The new sports space is intended for both children and adults, encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle. I invite all residents to come here, exercise, spend time together, and enjoy the new facilities offered by Chișinău City Hall.
So far, the following works have been completed as part of the park’s modernization process:
Rehabilitation and creation of new pedestrian alleys
New connections between the Rîșcani and Ciocana sectors
Access stairs from the alleys to the lake
Jogging track around the lake
Bicycle track
Modernization of the embankments
Installation of a new public lighting system
Placement of urban furniture
Tree trimming and cleaning
Playgrounds for children
Installation of chess tables
Lake cleaning
Beach arrangement
Installation of a new sanitary facility and removal of the old one on Braniștii Street
Modernization of the “Amusement Park”
Repair of Braniștii Street near the park, including road and sidewalk rehabilitation
Creation of public parking spaces
During the summer season, the park hosts various cultural and artistic events.
Chișinău City Hall is investing in the city’s infrastructure and creating public spaces that were neglected for years. Dumitru Rîșcanu Park is not just a place for recreation, but a symbol of the city’s development, a space where families can spend quality time, children can play safely, and sports enthusiasts can continue their activities in a properly arranged environment.
