Yesterday, on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, the inauguration of the "Israel Park" recreational area took place in the outlying community of Troullo, in the Larnaca district. The opening ceremony was held by the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment Dr. Kostas Kadis, in the presence of the Ambassador of Israel to Cyprus Mr. Oren Anolik and the Speaker of the Parliament Mrs. Anita Demetriou.
The creation of the recreational area is an initiative of the Embassy of Israel, which was embraced by the Forestry Department and the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment. The Embassy of Israel funded the project to the tune of €35,000, while part of the costs were covered by the Forestry Department and the community of Trullo. The project once again confirms that cooperation between the two countries is not limited to the political aspect, but is multi-level with implications in all areas.
The project fills a gap in the region, offering locals and visitors a place for relaxation and forest recreation. The ecological importance of the project is also enormous, as it will give the message of respect for the forest to the citizens, cultivate environmental awareness and transmit to the new generations the mentality of protection and love for forests and the natural environment.
The 5,000 m2 picnic area provides various facilities for visitors, such as sanitary facilities, a shelter, drinking water, table seating and a barbecue. The site is also accessible to people with disabilities. The site is a state forest, which has recently been leased to the community of Troullo.
