This 14-kilometer stretch of green space follows the course of the Pedieos River, providing a haven for recreation, relaxation, and connection with nature. Originally constructed between 1999 and 2014, the park has become a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike. Its well-maintained paths cater to walkers, joggers, runners, and cyclists, providing a safe and scenic environment for exercise. The route begins in the center of Nicosia and extends through the municipalities of Lakatamia and Strovolos, offering a diverse landscape that transitions from narrow, tree-lined paths to wider, more open spaces. The park's design emphasizes sustainability and environmental consciousness. The Pedieos River Rehabilitation Project, which includes the park's development, focuses on flood protection, ecological conservation, and the creation of recreational and educational facilities.

Recent developments aim to further enhance the park's appeal and accessibility. Plans are underway to extend the park by an additional 14.2 kilometers, connecting it to the Turkish-held side of Nicosia. This ambitious project will foster sustainable mobility and cross-community access, promoting reconciliation and cooperation. The expanded park will feature wooden bridges, cycling paths, and green corridors, allowing users to travel along the full stretch of the Pedieos River.
