New beach opens in Budapest
On Friday, 16 August, a renovated beach area reopened at the Lejtő Street sports complex in the 12th district. As outlined on the district’s official website, this reopening is part of the Sas Gardens project, which aims to revitalise the entire sports facility.
According to its website, the Sas Gardens complex is located near the main entrance of the Farkasrét Cemetery at 28 Lejtő Street. Originally established in the early 1960s as a project of the Ministry of Agriculture, the facility has gone by several names, including FVM Sports Complex, FM Lejtő Street Guesthouse and Sports Center, Németvölgyi Resort, and Sas-hegy Oasis, HVG reports. It was operated by various organisations linked to the ministry until it was sold to its current owners, Clivus Plc., at the end of 2021.
