6. Grove Park

Address: 13 Nicolae Balcescu Boulevard

Permanent open

Groâng Park, the city's largest park, is perhaps the emblem of Buzau. It was created in the 19th century in the Crang Forest through its partial development. It has some very wide alleys, in one part of the park is the Gloria Stadium, an obelisk, a lake, playgrounds, bicycle paths.

I found it particularly unkempt and was disappointed with how this green corner of the city looked.
