Tbilisi will gain another neighborhood green space as city authorities plan to construct a new park in the Zahesi area, Mayor Kakha Kaladze announced during a meeting of the municipal government. The project will be implemented by the administration of the Gldani District and will cover an area of around 2,500 square meters near Freedom Street No. 12 in Zahesi.
City Hall stated that the park will include several recreational and infrastructure elements designed to serve local residents, including:
- children’s playgrounds
- an outdoor fitness area
- landscaping and tree planting
- roll-out turf grass
- outdoor lighting systems
- irrigation infrastructure
- additional urban amenities required for public spaces
The total cost of the project is estimated at approximately GEL 600,000.
Kaladze emphasized that developing green spaces between residential buildings is a priority for the city. While large parks of citywide importance remain essential, the mayor noted that smaller parks at the neighborhood level are equally important for improving urban living conditions.
He added that the municipality’s goal is transforming underused courtyard spaces into green public areas, often through the removal of illegal fences and outdated garages.
The mayor stated that all costs associated with dismantling illegal structures and unsightly garages will be covered by the municipality, allowing residents to participate in redevelopment projects without financial burden.
Kaladze also encouraged residents to take an active role in shaping the design of new community spaces, stressing that public participation is key to ensuring that projects reflect the needs of local neighborhoods.
