Egaleo grove, public park in Egaleo, Attica, Greece

Egaleo grove is a public park in a western suburb of Athens that spreads across a large area between two major roads. The space features a diverse mix of trees including platanus, pines, olives, and acacias, along with planted paths and open areas for walking.

The site formerly housed a gunpowder factory that operated until 1970, when it closed due to safety concerns and community protests against repeated accidents. The transformation from this dangerous industrial facility into a green space marked an important shift toward protecting residents and improving the neighborhood.

The place serves as a gathering space for local residents who walk, rest, and spend time among the trees. Scattered throughout are sculptures and memorials that reflect the memory and identity of the surrounding community.

Egaleo grove lies between Iera Odos and the Athens–Corinth National Road in Egaleo, Attica. The grounds are crossed on foot by planted paths, and the open theatre "Alexis Minotis" and sports facilities sit within the area. The safety tunnels built for the old powder factory are now sealed shut.

The 1974 demolition spared only one chimney and one water collector, which still stand in the grove. The foundation stone was laid on 14 November 1976 by Prime Minister Konstantinos Karamanlis, who planted a plane tree, together with public works minister Christoforos Stratos.
