6. Crâng Park

Address: 13 Nicolae Balcescu Boulevard

Permanently open

Crâng Park, the largest park in the city, is perhaps the emblem of the city of Buzau. It came into being in the 19th century in the Crang Forest through its partial development. It has several very wide alleys, in one part of the park is the Gloria Stadium, an obelisk, a lake, playgrounds, bike paths. I found it particularly unkempt and I was disappointed by how this green corner of the city looks.
