Mechwart liget, Public park in District II, Budapest, Hungary

Mechwart liget is a public park in District II of Budapest at the intersection of Margit körút and Keleti Károly utca, covering about 18,000 square meters. The upper end of the park holds the District II municipal government building, while the eastern side is occupied by the Central Statistical Office and its library. In summer 2010 the park was fully renovated with new decorative paving and a new fountain replacing the old one.

After World War II destruction, architect Vilmos Jancsó redesigned the park in 1945 with a new bust of András Mechwart as its centerpiece. This redesign transformed the space into the garden it is today.

The park bears the name of András Mechwart, the Ganz works director whose two-figure statue stood here until it was destroyed in World War II. Since then a bust of Mechwart by András Kocsis has stood in its place. The square sits between the District II municipal offices and the Central Statistical Office and its library.

The park lies at the junction of Margit körút and Keleti Károly utca in District II. The district council building stands at the upper end, while the Central Statistical Office and its library face the eastern side. The 2010 renovation, partly funded by the European Union, added new decorative paving and replaced the old fountain with a new one.

A Paulownia tomentosa, an empress tree over a hundred years old, still stood in the park in the early 2010s. The 2010 renovation, partly funded by the European Union, replaced the old fountain with a new one and laid decorative paving.
