BORJOMI CENTRAL PARK

Borjomi Central Park, formerly known as Mineral Waters Park, is situated in the narrow gorge of the Shavtskala (Borjomula) River. Its history is closely tied to that of the Borjomi spa itself. The spa and park were established in 1842. The park stretches linearly along the river, constrained by the steep, rocky slopes of the surrounding mountains. Originally, the mineral waters were used primarily for bathing purposes. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that Borjomi water gained popularity as a drinking source. Consequently, areas around the springs that had been occupied by bathing establishments were demolished during the Soviet era.
