Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze said on Tuesday the Cartu Foundation of Bidzina Ivanishvili, the founder of the Georgian Dream ruling party and the former Prime Minister of Georgia, would fully cover the ongoing construction costs of Tbilisi Central Park in the Saburtalo district of the Georgian capital, with works covering a 36-hectare area of the former Hippodrome.
An estimated cost of the project is about $20 million.
In his remarks at a regular meeting in Tbilisi City Hall, Kaladze said that several changes have been made in the project, referring to the reduction of the parking area and others.

The parking area will be reduced, and in its place, on a territory of 5,937 square meters, green spaces and a tennis court will be made. 245 parking spaces will remain in the park, instead of the previously planned 440. The French garden and the botanical garden on 28,232 square meters will no longer be included in the project and instead green spaces and picnic malls will be arranged”, said Kaladze.
The new park will be located in a former hippodrome in Saburtalo district of Tbilisi and will be able to host about 11,000 guests in a day.
The Cartu Foundation had gifted the territory to Tbilisi City Hall in 2020 to build the central park in the area.
A new, 5,000 sq. meter park has opened in the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi, at Panaskerteli-Tsitsishvili street in Saburtalo district. "Many families live in this area and the implementation of this project was important. People of all ages will be able to spend time in the recreational space", Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze said.
Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze has announced today several new projects that ‘have the potential to become the lungs' of the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi. One of the projects is the renovation of Tbilisi Dendrological Park that is located on the territory of Tbilisi Sea and spreads over 163 hectares, of which 93 ha is covered by forest.
The Georgian capital city of Tbilisi will have its first Central Park that will green up the city in about two years. Covering 36 hectares, the new park will be located in a former hippodrome in Saburtalo district of Tbilisi and will be able to host about 11,000 guests in a day.
The Cartu Foundation of Bidzina Ivanishvili, the founder and the head of the ruling Georgian Dream party, has gifted the large territory of the former hippodrome in central Tbilisi to Tbilisi City Hall to build the capital’s central park in the area.
The Tbilisi district of Chugureti will have a new public park boosting recreation in the area, with the City Hall announcing the ongoing construction on an area of 5,000 square metres in the Ivertubani settlement on Thursday.
