Another project of major environmental and social importance for the city of Pafos and the wider urban area is entering into implementation, following the preparation of the architectural plans for the formation of the Eastern Linear Park on the boundaries of Pafos, Geroskipou and Konia. The Park will start from the area of the terminal roundabout of the Limassol Paphos motorway and will end at the area of Limnaria, in Kato Paphos.
The plans of the long-awaited project were presented in early August by the Municipality of Pafos at an event at the Attikon multiplex and during this presentation it was stressed that it is one of the most important projects ever undertaken in the Pafos district.
The natural stream flowing east of the city of Pafos is the "border" of the Municipality of Pafos with the Municipality of East Pafos will be formed and given to the citizens, while a total of 6.5 kilometers will be created, which will include a playground, pedestrian zone, bicycle path, outdoor gym, sports and rest areas, information points, parking spaces and more. The park will function as a natural extension of the Coastal Promenade on the coastal front of the two Municipalities.
The estimated total cost of the project is in the order of €9.2 million, while this amount does not include the cost of land expropriation which has not yet been estimated.
