Plastic foliage in public park in the center of ….Athens! (pictures)

Foliage made of solid plastic has been ‘nicely’ decorating the fence in a part of a public Park in the center of Athens.

Meter-long plastic leaves have been installed along the fence of  the courtyard of the historical Oikonomidis building once the most prominent summer theater stages in the Greek capital.

Plastic foliage in Pedion toy Areos, a park full with natural green?

According to newspaper documento, it was the Regional Government of Attica that gave the permission for the plastic foliage .


This choice of plastic inside a park can “cause only horror,” notes the newspaper adding “even a child knows that you never put plastic foliage anywhere, how much more in a park.”

There is no excuse, the newspaper underlines.

The historical building was renovated and went in operation in 2017, after decades of abandonment. It is an area where Athenians spent warm summer nights watching variete performance in the 1950s and 1960s as well as the famous talent show by entertainer Giorgos Oikonomidis.

I don’t know who runs the management of Oikonomidis theater but maybe they got inspired by the Fraport and its plastic plants in the airport of Heraklio, Crete.
