Peti Oktomvri park, Urban park in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria

Peti Oktomvri Park is an urban green space in the central area of Stara Zagora with walking paths, seating areas, and a fountain surrounded by trees and flowering plants. The layout includes multiple entry and exit points, making it easy to visit from different neighborhoods across the city.

The park's symbolic foundation stone was laid on 23 September 1879 (5 October in the new calendar), marking the start of Stara Zagora's reconstruction after the city was burned. The date gave the park its name. In 2025–2026 the park underwent a major renovation and reconstruction.

The sculptures and monuments scattered through the park mark important moments in Bulgarian history and serve as gathering spots where residents come together for celebrations and community gatherings. These spaces show how the city honors its past while remaining a living part of daily life.

The park lies beside the Geo Milev Theatre and the opera house, with a large fountain inside and a small drinking fountain with a Manneken Pis statue next to it. A major renovation and reconstruction of the grounds ran through 2025–2026, so parts may be fenced off; check locally before planning a visit.

The park's chessboard in the centre was painted with large playing pieces that were used until 2010. A statue of Manneken Pis stands by a small drinking fountain next to the main fountain. The monument to the anti-fascists occupies the upper part of the garden.
