The existing bicycle and pedestrian paths in the park are in poor condition and insufficient, there is a lack of children’s playgrounds, community-friendly active recreation places, small architectural elements, lighting system outdated, uneconomic and insufficient. The park is unsafe, visitors lack parking places. The aim of the project is to contribute to the creation of favourable conditions for the employment of residents and the development of community activities of the residential area in the target area of Panevėžys city. In order to achieve this objective, it is planned to upgrade the public infrastructure of the Culture and Recreation Park. As part of the project, the park area will be renovated, new and renovated existing bicycle and pedestrian paths, lighting networks, part of pavements, elements of small architecture, regenerating greenfields, beach, children’s playgrounds, universal sports grounds, 3 new car parks, video surveillance cameras and other necessary infrastructure renovation works will be carried out.
