Fourteen times bigger than the National Park, and even bigger than Hyde Park in London, The Ellinikon Park, which will be built in the area of Elliniko by Lamda Development, will have a total area of 2 million square meters and a total budget of 250 million. euro.
It is worth mentioning that the new Metropolitan Park in the area of Elliniko will be the largest of its kind, not only in Europe but also one of the largest internationally, as its area, as mentioned above will be 2,000 acres, when the area of its Field Areos is 270 acres, the National Garden 160 acres, the Syggrou Estate 950 acres, the Tritsis Park 1,000 acres and the Hyde Park of London 1,420 acres.
The studies for the construction of the project are already in progress and are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
According to the management of Lamda Development, a large part of the Hellinikon Park will be completed by the end of 2025. Already, a part of it, the Experience Park, with a total area of 75,000 sq.m. opened to the public in December 2021, much earlier than expected, which to date has welcomed over 500,000 visitors.
A key part of Lamda’s design is the creation of an extensive network of routes, longer than 50 km, with sidewalks, bike paths and light roads. This will include a 56-meter-wide pedestrian street over 2.5 km long, which will connect Vouliagmeni Avenue with the Coastal Front through Elliniko Park. Thus, the park will start from the outskirts of Ymittos and will extend to the sea connecting the surrounding Municipalities and uniting the new neighborhoods that will be created.
To date, the cost of the Park studies exceeds 7 million euros, an amount that has been fully covered by the investor.
The areas of The Ellinikon Park
The Olympic Square will be a highlight of the Olympic heritage, while the amphitheater of the area will be able to host concerts and other events.
At the highest point of the Park, open-air galleries will be created that will host sculptures and works of modern art, with an emphasis on Greek artists.
In an area larger than Pedion tou Areos there will be thematic areas, such as vineyards, olive groves and fields, inviting visitors on a journey of discovery of Greek agriculture.
The Saarinen area is dominated by the main building of the Eastern Airport of Elliniko, which for decades was the gateway to Athens.
The historic building acquires new life as an exhibition center and space for cultural events.
The Trachonon Stream is delimited and its riverbed is released, resulting in the revitalization of the local ecosystem and the transformation of the surrounding area.
The remodeled canoe-kayak Lake of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games will be a place where one can enjoy the magnificent view from the observatory and explore the lake.
Finally, an integral part of The Ellinikon Park is the Experience Park, in the area of the three hangars of the Air Force, which has already become the new destination in the southern suburbs.
