Divided into two parts, the main section (closest to Tineretului metro) offers a few rides for kids, trampolines and dodgems, as well as playgrounds and plenty of tree-lined avenues great for strolling. There is free bike hire (bring ID) too.
In the middle of the park is the Sala Polivalenta – a popular venue for concerts, exhibitions and big indoor sporting events - set above a large artificial lake on the shore of which is a great terrace, Cafeneaua Actorilor de Vara, which serves some of the best (if most expensive) mici in the city.
Up by Sala Polivalenta you will also find the entrance to Oraselul Copiilor, a very old fashioned children’s funfair, complete with one of the most decrepit and life-threatening roller coasters known to man. It is currently being renovated, but some rides remain open.
The best part of Tineretului however is Parcul Vacaresti / Parcul Copiilor, on the corner of B-dul Tineretului and Calea Vacaresti.
Vast amounts of money have been spent on this part of the park, and as such you will find the best and biggest childrens' playgrounds in the city here. There is also an old steam engine for kids to clamber on, inflatables, a go-kart track, tennis courts, football pitches, volleyball and basketball courts.
