Cluj Central Park
Parcul Central Simion Bărnuțiu
A city park opened in the 19th century, with rowboats on the lake and the Art Nouveau Chios Casino building across from the island.
Cluj Central Park was laid out in the early 19th century and is one of Romania's oldest city parks. Its tree-lined avenues, statues and lake form the core of the city's leisure space. On the lake you can rent rowboats or swan boats. The Chios Casino on the lakeshore, completed in 1897, now houses a restaurant and event venue, and its lights reflect on the water at night. The park's west side is the Cluj Arena sports complex, and the Someș River lies to the north. During the UNTOLD music festival in August the surrounding area is very lively. Entry is free.
