Parcul Tei
The park on the lakeshore was designed in the 1930s and finished after the war, under the name “Grădina Teilor” (the Linden Garden). Today it has playgrounds and an amusement park, opened in 2016.
The banks are being redeveloped
The Sector 2 City Hall started the “Coridorul Verde Colentina” project in 2020: a promenade of more than 38 kilometers along the six Colentina lakes. The first section includes lakes Tei and Plumbuita, between Calea Floreasca and Șoseaua Petricani, over 28.59 hectares. The City Hall estimates about five years for the works, after the design phase is complete.
