Old City Park in Ohrid, North Macedonia, is a waterfront green space situated directly along the shoreline of Lake Ohrid. The park serves as a primary pedestrian connection between the historic Old Town area and the city's main harbor. It features paved walkways, mature shade trees, and clear vantage points looking across the lake toward the Galičica National Park mountains. The park provides a transition point between the urban stone architecture of Ohrid and the natural lakeside environment. It is a central hub for pedestrian traffic throughout the day and evening. Benches are positioned along the water's edge to provide viewing spots for the lake's activity.
