In nine locations, eight of which were chosen by residents themselves.
The new greenery will appear both in parks and along road lanes, including in the Land of Fun in Reagan Park, in Diana and Helena Park, on Grunwaldzka Avenue in Oliva and on Obrońców Wybrzeża Street. As the Gdansk Roads and Greenery Authority points out, the project aims to increase shaded areas in the city, especially parks and playgrounds, often visited by Gdansk residents.
The goal of the project is to plant trees that would provide shade and allow both children and caregivers to stay comfortably in the playground.
