The Liget Budapest Project is now the largest urban development project in Europe with a prestigious international award combining the largest-scale park and landscape architecture work in the country’s history with an institution-building program unprecedented since the millennium. Városliget will be more livable by 2023, much greener and more modern and the park will be richer with attractive institutions once again becoming worthy of its former glory.

The 3-year comprehensive reconstruction of the Museum of Fine Arts was realized thanks to the Liget Budapest Project. The museum building has won the Europa Nostra - also known as the European Union Cultural Heritage Award - in the Preservation category. 

One of the most complex and modern playgrounds in Hungary is completed, the Main Playground. The 13,000-square-meter playground is outstanding and not only because of its size, but also because of its special equipment. The playground has 6 different slides, 10 types of swings and carousels, 4 types of spinning games, 3 sandboxes, 7 types of individual spiral games, 2 uniquely designed climbing complex made of half a dozen elements, 10 trampolines and a long winding stream with sluices and water toys await the children. Some of the elements have a special, integrated design, enabling healthy and disabled children to play together. Some of the unusual games are also suitable for the whole family as the special mesh structures support the weight of the adults as well.

Within the framework of the Liget Budapest Project, the monumental reconstruction of the former Olof Palme House, one of the oldest and most impressive buildings in Liget was completed. The building houses an interactive exhibition presenting the golden age of Városliget, as well as a turn-of-the-century café decorated with Zsolnay ceramics. In front of the main entrance of the more than 130-year-old building, a garden with 1,500 roses has been created as part of the landscape architectural renewal of the park. The central element is a new Zsolnay fountain harmonizing with the rich façade decoration of the building. 

Hungary's first Sensory Garden in Városliget has been renewed, specifically serving the recreation and relaxation of the blind and visually impaired. The Sensory Garden was completely rebuilt inside and out - they made the area accessible for wheelchairs, equipped it with modern facilities, rehabilitated its vegetation, renovated and expanded the playground with special games.
