To build a park on the dividing island on “Al. Stamboliiski “in the Chaika quarter. This is the first project of the Ecovarna Look at the Ecovarna.info initiative.
Location on Public Territory: The island area between the two lanes of Al. Stamboliiski in Chaika quarter, between the market and the access to Varna stadium.
Current status: The area is in dire straits. It is not functional. It has been converted into a parking lot. The flooring is compromised. Few benches are broken and vegetation is unsupported. The infrastructure has not been updated since it was built.
Draft idea: Separation of the interior space (the dividing island on the boulevard) from the existing infrastructure and its transformation into a park. To build a green alley as a natural extension of the Sea Garden in the Chaika neighborhood. The idea is to make the dividing island an accessible place for people’s leisure and fun.
