Urban Orchards are a composed public space landscape in the centre of the city, an attractive dynamic park for citizens and visitors offering a wide range of leisure activities for all age groups (playground with incorporated fitness equipment, pétanque playing-ground, terrain for rollerblading and skateboarding). In orchards, there is a network of paths and pavements connecting four main entrances. The northern tip is a green oasis around the pond with a wooden bridge linked to surrounding paths. In the centre, there is a summer stage - an amphitheatre and several lookout points. In the southern part of the Orchards, there is a playground with the main fountain, and the memorial remembering victims of holocaust – a granite Star of David half-sunk in the ground at the place of former Jewish cemetery.
