Parcul „Serghei Lazo”
Parcul „Serghei Lazo”, at 8 Strada Sarmizegetusa, is the green space of southern Chișinău, roughly four kilometres from Piața Marii Adunări Naționale, in the Botanica district.
A park in the south of the city
Strada Sarmizegetusa runs through the southern part of Chișinău, and the park bearing the name of Sergei Lazo is the green point of this stretch of the city. It lies about four kilometres from Piața Marii Adunări Naționale, in the Botanica district.
Its role is local rather than touristic. The neighbourhood comes here: runners in the morning, children in the afternoon, neighbours in the evening. For a visitor, it is a chance to see residential Chișinău, the city that does not appear in photographs.
What you'll find
Paths, mature vegetation, benches and open spaces. The layout is simple and functional. The place is listed as suitable for children, and the entrance is wheelchair-accessible.
There are no opening hours: the park is open 24 hours a day, every day. There is no entrance fee.
Getting there
8 Strada Sarmizegetusa, in the south of the city. By car the drive from the centre takes 15–20 minutes, depending on traffic. Botanica is well connected to the capital's public transport network.
Check the position on the map of sights — the street is long, and the park entrances are not signposted for visitors.
When to go
Spring and autumn, for the walking conditions. In summer, the shade of the mature planting makes the difference around midday. Late afternoon is the liveliest moment.
In winter the park remains accessible, but the paths can be slippery after snow.
What to combine it with on the same day
Botanica has the best green spaces in southern Chișinău, and Parcul „Serghei Lazo” is only one of them. Parcul „Valea Trandafirilor”, with three lakes, running routes and sports grounds, is a few kilometres away and deserves considerably more time. The amusement park on Strada Trandafirilor rounds off the option for families with children.
A logical route: Valea Trandafirilor in the morning, lunch in a local restaurant, the amusement park in the afternoon, with a short stop here on the way. For the wider context of the city, the section on the capital explains the differences between the districts.
