Overview

Drumul Taberei Park, also known as Moghioroș Park, serves as the primary recreational hub in the Drumul Taberei neighborhood of western Bucharest. The park underwent a major modernization in 2015, introducing a large, spherical glass greenhouse that functions as an exotic botanical garden. A central lake provides seasonal boat and pedal boat rentals for visitors. The landscape design incorporates tiered lawns, elevated walkways, and extensive playgrounds integrated into the natural topography. Specialized sports zones include dedicated areas for basketball, skateboards, and outdoor fitness equipment. The botanical collection within the greenhouse features Mediterranean and tropical plant species. Wide concrete paths circle the central water feature, connecting different functional sectors of the park. It remains one of the few large-scale urban parks in Bucharest that prioritizes modern architectural structures alongside traditional green space.

Insider tips

Visit the botanical greenhouse during the morning to avoid the heat trapped under the glass canopy.

Bring your own lock if you plan to use the fitness or sports court lockers, as they are not always managed.

Explore the elevated wooden boardwalks near the lake for a better vantage point of the park's topography.

What to avoid

Avoid visiting on warm weekend afternoons if you prefer quiet, as the playgrounds and boat areas become congested.

Good to know

The botanical greenhouse may have restricted access or seasonal opening adjustments compared to the outdoor park areas.

Etiquette

Maintain noise levels near the botanical greenhouse; stay on designated paths within the garden areas.
