Park Luka Ćelović, Public park in Savamala, Serbia.
Park Luka Ćelović is a public green space in Savamala featuring walking paths that lead to a central plaza with a fountain. The grounds include planted areas and quiet spots to sit within the urban neighborhood.
The park sits on the site of a former school destroyed during German bombing raids on Belgrade on April 6, 1941. The land was later transformed into a public green space.
The park was named in 2004 after Luka Ćelović, a Serbian merchant who played a role in developing the Savamala district. The space has become an important gathering place for communities from different backgrounds.
The park is near Belgrade's main bus and railway stations with parking available along Karađorđeva Street. Access is straightforward and the location is convenient for visitors exploring the neighborhood.
From 2015 onward, the park became a meeting place for immigrants from the Middle East, leading locals to call it Afghan Park. This shift shows how public spaces change shape based on who uses them.
