The dried out bed of the river Kanaklyika in Svilengrad has been transformed into a pretty urban park and a favourite place for taking walks, with outdoor fitness facilities, a stage for children, a parking area for cars and bicycles. The entire park area spreads to 0.5 hectares, with lots of greenery, benches, and various species of coniferous and deciduous trees, shrubs and flowers, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports.

There are bird houses along the park alleyways, solar panel lights, as well as signs with photographs of protected species of birds and plants typical of the region. Inside the park itself two environmental corners have been created – for children up to the age of 6, and for children aged 6 to 12. All facilities are entirely made of wood.
