Dighmis Chalebi - Dighomi's Newest Park Moving Forward

In June last year, Tbilisi City Hall announced plans to rennovate parks throughout the city and build several new parks. At least two new parks will be built – in the Dighomi area, a park called ‘Dighmis Chalebi’ and a park called ‘Temkis Khevi’ in the Temka area. There are also plans to build a third new park in Gldani’s VI microdistrict which will be more than three hectares in size.

The Dighmis Chalebi project will cost 11 million GEL, and will take nearly two years to complete.

The project is part of the Tbilisi Land Use Master Plan, explained Mayor Kakha Kaladze at a presentation on Tuesday, and city planners see the space as one of Tbilisi's best recreation areas in the future.

"We are talking about the ecological situation and its solutions. We pay great attention to tightening regulations and creating green spaces. We have not issued even one permission at the expense of green spaces and sports grounds during this year,” said Kaladze.

By the end of 2019, City Hall plans to renovate 12 big parks in Tbilisi, including its most well-known public green space – Vake Park. The renovations will include benches, lighting, footpaths, and different attractions for children. In Vake Park, there will be a special dog area for pets and their owners. There are also discussions to build a small amusement park in Vake Park, as there was during Soviet times.
