Overview

Kopaszi-gát is a peninsula-shaped park extending into the Danube, serving as a vital green lung for South Buda. The site was redeveloped from a former industrial harbor into a modern recreational zone known as BudaPart. The park features a landscaped 2-kilometer-long shoreline with manicured lawns and protected flora. It is integrated with a contemporary mixed-use development comprising office buildings and residential units. Pedestrians have access to a variety of waterfront dining establishments and cafes integrated into the park design. The area is intentionally designed to act as a flood protection barrier for the surrounding urban district. Public art installations and playgrounds are distributed throughout the grounds.
