Ivanishvili Foundation will finance the construction of Tbilisi Central Park
Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze said on Tuesday the “Cartu” Foundation of Bidzina Ivanishvili, the founder of the Georgian Dream ruling party and the former Prime Minister of Georgia, would fully cover the ongoing construction costs of Tbilisi Central Park in the Saburtalo district of the Georgian capital, with works covering a 36-hectare area of the former Hippodrome.
An estimated cost of the project is about $20 million.
In his speech at a meeting at the Tbilisi City Hall, Kaladze said that a number of changes had been made to the project compared to the original plans.
Firstly, it is planned to reduce the parking area - instead, on a territory of 5,937 square meters, green spaces and a tennis court will be made.
245 parking spaces will remain in the park, instead of the previously planned 440. Also, the project will not include the French garden and the botanical garden on 28,232 square meters will no longer be included in the project and instead green spaces and picnic malls will be arranged", said Kaladze.
The new park will be located in a former hippodrome in Saburtalo district of Tbilisi and will be able to host about 11,000 guests in a day.
The “Cartu” Foundation had gifted this territory to Tbilisi City Hall in 2020 to build the central park in the area.
