About Valea Morilor Park
Valea Morilor, the Valley of the Mills, a big lakeside park laid out in 1950, with a 2.5 km lake walk, an open-air theatre and a restored cascade stairway of 218 steps.
The park was created in 1950 around a lake dug in 1952, then called Komsomol Lake. Its cascade stairway of 218 steps, with fountains and a rotunda, was restored and reopened in 2016.
A 2.5 km path circles the lake, and the Green Theatre of 1957 hosts summer concerts. The park is free and open at all times. Come on a summer evening or on a weekend, when families fill the paths.
