Selected project

"Park - Completion of the Park Construction in the Area Centre"
Project holder: Municipality of Gjorce Petrov
Total budget: 9,196,220.00 MKD (own contribution 2,030,604.00 MKD, requested from SDC 6,897,165.00 MKD)

Citizens from the Municipality of Gjorce Petrov did not have at their disposal a space that would gather on one place all generations and offer them possibilities for recreation, cultural and entertainment life. This project's goal is to create a part that would become a representative location for the citizens from the municipality and would meet their needs for gatherings, walks and recreation. The Park has been conceptualized to address the needs of all citizens and serve many generations. Following are the contents offered by the park:
  • Pedestrian paths;
  • Fountain; 
  • 30 tree rosettes;
  • Landscaping with: pave elements, 14 rest areas with a total of 50 benches, 32 waste bins, 2 bike parking sites;
  • 42 candelabra lights;
  • Children playground with two functional units - for children at the age up to six years and above six years;
  • Green areas of 9,630 m2;
  • Public toilets.

For the purpose of making the park sustainable, an individual water source for watering the park will be developed and a guard service will be established responsible for the park's maintenance.
