The Linear Park Pediaios in Cyprus was established in 2002 and is a green lung for Nicosia, with a 14 kilometers long pavement which passes through Lakatamia, Strovolos and the city center. The Linear Park Pediaios has cycle lanes, pedestrian streets, pavements etc. The central pedestrian road is illuminated throughout its length in order to be safe during the night. Along it there have been planted several trees like eucalyptuses and many bushes. The cycle lane starts south of the presidential palace, on the bridge of Chryseleousa street, crosses the presidential park and Pediaios river and connects with the park opposite the church of Timios Prodromos near Giorkeio. Next it passes under the bridge of Cheilonos street and ends up in the old hospital of Nicosia. For the construction of Linear Park Pediaios materials like wood and stone were used in order to blend in with the natural environment. Within the “Linear Park” that falls in the Strovolos Municipality’s area, there is a small sports centre that is available for children above the age of 15 and to adults. At intervals there are supplies with potable water. There are small squares equipped with benches, that offer the chance to its visitors to have a rest.
