The park occupies the former site of the Lipasmata (fertilizers) factory, which operated until the late 20th century.
The site was historically one of the most polluted areas in Greece due to decades of industrial manufacturing.
Restoration efforts prioritized the removal of hazardous soil while retaining specific industrial structural elements for aesthetic value.
The park occupies approximately 80,000 square meters of former industrial coastline.
Lipasmata Multifunctional Park is an expansive coastal urban park built on the remediated site of a former fertilizer factory in Drapetsona. The park features renovated industrial buildings repurposed for cultural activities and sports alongside extensive open green spaces. It serves as a vital pedestrian connection between the Piraeus port area and the Saronic Gulf coastline. The site includes multiple sports courts, cycling lanes, and walking paths that wind along the waterfront. Industrial relics, such as tall chimneys and rusted machinery, remain integrated into the landscape design, preserving the area's heritage. The park provides unobstructed views of the Piraeus harbor and the surrounding islands. It is a significant example of industrial brownfield revitalization in the Attica region.
The elevated paths overlooking the contrast between the preserved factory chimneys and the docked cruise ships in the port.
Bring sun protection as the park offers limited natural shade during peak afternoon hours.
Walk the full length of the coastal path to reach the quietest sections furthest from the port gates.
Do not attempt to swim in the waters directly adjacent to the park as they are part of the active commercial port zone.
Maintain caution around remaining industrial ruins and stay on designated pathways.
