It has been 2 years since the Sector 3 City Hall inaugurated Taylor Park, the largest green area designed from scratch after 1989, at the former landfill site on Brațării Street. Although there is still a long way to go to reach like Herăstrauul or Cișmigiul where there are tall trees, in more than 100 years almost all the trees planted on 7 hectares have taken root and grown.

The area is slowly starting to look like a park and provide some shade, but it will probably take another 2-3 years for the trees to grow.

The center of the park is green and very well-kept, but on the edge the bushes have grown up to half a meter or there are unwatered areas where the grass has dried up.

If at the grand opening there were only a few buildings around the park, now the area is filled with residential blocks.

The green zone was arranged by the City Hall of the 3rd sector with the participation of employees of City Hall institutions and enterprises. The park has an artificial lake, several thousand trees – lindens, metasequoias, birches, oaks and willows – and sports fields. Mayor Robert Negoitsa stated at the inauguration that the overall cost of the arrangement was around 50 euros/sq.m. Work began in September 2019 and was completed in the summer of 2020.
