South Park

A park where you can feel the nature although it is in the city. Regular events are organised. There are many alleys and paths with beautiful trees where you can relax. You may find everything that a park has to offer there and is close by.

We found some of the entrances were closed so we had to try and find another way into the park. We had do do some hiking in very secluded places and had a great hiking adventure! It took us half an hour but we made it to the south park in the end!

"The South Park Sofia is an incredibly entertaining and immersive experience that brings the iconic animated series to life in a unique way.

The attractions themselves are a blast, offering a mix of thrilling rides and interactive experiences.

The park also hosts live shows and performances, featuring beloved characters from the series, which adds an extra layer of entertainment.

The best hotel in Paralia Katerini. The location is top, the beach is right in front of the hotel. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The staff is great - always ready to help you and very friendly.

Overall well organised and maintained park!
Advantages: clean playgrounds; dedicated dog playground enclosures; marshes and swamps with wild birds; enough containers for separate waste collection; lightened park alleys during the whole night; snow plowing during the winter; video surveillance; orthodox church.
Disadvantage: parking on the main streets surrounding the park;

South Park is a lusciously green patch of land among some of the most modern neighboorhoods in the capital city of Bulgaria. South Park covers an area of 1,48 km².

The project for this park was accepted and developed in 1972. The idea of the project was to create a park that works as an extention of Vitosha Mountain. Visitors can find proof of this all around the park, as it has numerous different terrain forms, untouched forests a stunning view of the mountain from specially designed open areas, several man-made lakes and the main entrance to the park meets the end of Vitosha Boulevard.

The infrastructure of the park is very friendly to all kinds of outdoor activities, as there are plenty of paths, which are, for the most part, very well-lit during the night, several playgrounds, a concert stage and a good amount of benches and gazebos. What makes the park unique is the harmony of wild and cultured. South Park is a favorite plass for extreme biking, as the terrain allows for various tracks and jumps. Walking along the paths and alleys of the park visitors will also notice informative signs regarding the different bird species that inhabit the South Park right next to wild ducks playing in a pond.

The park is alive all year round and especially in the spring and summer. There are always masses gathered there as the trees, fountains and ponds provide a great get-away from the sun. There is a menagerie of small fast food and ice cream stands, as well restaurants, cafés, stalls for cotton candy and even toys. South Park is also the host of the annual Flower for Gosho festival. Held in the beginning of summer, it is a memorial concert dedicated to one of Bulgaria’s most beloved rock musicians Georgi Minchev. On one of the alleys neighbooring the stage, there are always inflatable slide castles, trampolines, bumper cars and other attractions. There is a train-like vehicle that takes visitors on tours around the park for a small fee and departs hourly,

One can also rent a bicycles and bicycle carts to roam the park as you wish.

I like the sculpture composition placed in the artificial lake, called ‘The Water pasture’ by sculptor Pavel Koichev

I love this place, spend time there every week, we live close to it.

There are two dog parks here and a lot of playgrounds for kids. There's also a wild area where you can escape from the city. The bad thing is there are no lights at night and some stray dogs may also come at night. There are hardly any toilets which is making the choice of staying longer at the park a hard one. Not good for riding bikes because it's too crowded usually. Overall it's the best park in Sofia.

Its one of the most beautiful Parks you can visit in Sofia in spring has the most amazing flowers 🪷 very nice for dates, picknicks, outdoor yoga, meditation, bird feeding, and more!

Good place to use my (non electric) scooter. Well maintained park, we usually walk from Paradise Mall to European Union metro station through Dog Park. I recommend.

One of the most beautiful parks in Sofia. Nice cafes, plenty activities for children. 👍💖

One of the best places for a walk in Sofia. Common spot for social meetings, summer festivals and a lot of themed events or happenings. Use public transport as parking around is kind of a challenge.

Gigantic and beautiful parkin the middle of Sofia.
It's incredibly clean and gets many many visitors, old and young.
There's a lot to do for kids, you can rent bicycles for 2/3/4, there's lots of water, places to eat. The view is absolutely gorgeous. With fountains, tall trees filled with squirrels, the mountains in the background.
Lots of places to sit in the sun and the shade. Food and drink stalls and tiny little bars you can sit at.
We've been there one afternoon, and it wasn't nearly enough. There's so much to see!

South Park is a wonderful place in Sofia. I grew up with this park and have many fond memories. As children, we played a lot, and in the winter we sledged down the "monza". It was always super fun and hilarious. In the park you can play sports, exercise, run, walk. To have good times with loved ones. Now my kids like to play in south park too. I recommend it to everyone.

Beautiful park, definitely take a walk through it on a nice day!

"Our park" we call it (for others it's the Dogs' park), as it is in close proximity to our home. This is a favourite place for our family come rain or come shine, on foot and on bicycles.
The park has small hills to accommodate different companies and plenty of trees to hang hammocks or celebrate a birthday. The park has well kept grass and alleys. Culturally wise - two museums are situated here (The Man and Earth and Gallery of Contemporary Art), and one of the smaller malls (Park Centre - where you can grab snacks and drinks, or use the toilets).
Concerts and festivals in the open happen there and the atmosphere when warmer weather hits is just invigorating with people on picnic blankets and leisuring in the sun.

Southpark is a huge park in the middle of Sofia and is located at the southern end of Vithosa Boulevard. The park invites you to take a walk. There are also numerous sculptures to admire. In between there are always man-made and well-maintained lakes. The park also has several small cafes. The green areas are well maintained and there are also many beautiful flower beds. The park invites you to relax after an exciting tour of the city center.

Quite big for a city park, as well as clean and neat. There is some off-road where you can walk or do bike.

Hey there! 🌳 South Park in Sofia is an absolute gem! Perfect for relaxing strolls, picnics, and soaking in nature's beauty. A must-visit spot for some chill time.
