Details of Luxembourg's new €16 million park project given

Details of a new park to be built on Luxembourg City's Ban de Gasperich site and costing €16 million were revealed at a commune meeting on Monday.

The park will cover at least 14.9 hectares and include a 7,000 sq. metre lake.

There will be a mixture of open and shaded wooded areas to be developed near a restaurant zone.

The new park will be accessible by 4.5 kilometres of path networks for both pedestrians and cyclists.

A large playground for all ages will be constructed together with a multi-sports field, beach volleyball courts, a petanque terrain, and fitness zone.

A picnic and lawn area to host events will also be developed. And for those that enjoy a good barbecue there's good news as the commune stated that it is not opposed to their use.

Finally, there will also be public toilets at two locations, rounding up a plan of what promises to be an attractive new park in Gasperich.

However, a time frame for when the park will be completed has not been disclosed.
