Park Republika Srpska, Public park in New Belgrade, Serbia
Park Republika Srpska is a long, narrow green strip on the left bank of the Sava in New Belgrade, stretching from the Old Sava Bridge to the Gazela Bridge along Brodarska Street. It covers 7 hectares, with a 1-kilometre promenade along the Quay of the Jasenovac Victims, two basketball courts and a 2-kilometre bicycle track.
The park was laid out in 1978 as the Park of the Non-aligned, named after the movement co-founded by Josip Broz Tito. In 2008, Boris Tadić and Milorad Dodik opened a restored section under the name Park Republika Srpska, planting a tree as a symbol of friendship between Serbia and the Republika Srpska. The planting material, 300 trees and shrubs donated by the Tamaris company, largely dried out after opening because it was planted out of season.
Japanese cherry trees planted in 2020 by the Japanese Business Alliance stand arranged in Olympic rings throughout the space. Visitors can see this blooming symbol that marks the connection between the city and the Tokyo Games.
The grounds offer spaces for basketball and cycling, with easy access to walking routes along the river. The flat terrain and riverside promenade make it straightforward to navigate, with plenty of room for different kinds of outdoor activity.
The grounds contain rare tree species not commonly seen in Serbia, such as ginkgo biloba, giant sequoia, red beech, corkscrew willow, and yellow beech. This botanical diversity gives the park a distinctly different character from other local green spaces.
