The Romanian Municipality of Oradea announced that it will submit a project that will be developed with European funding for the creation of the Ioșia Thermal Garden. The new recreation area will have thermal pools, a sauna and a treatment centre as well as a pontoon in the Crisului Repede area.
Ioșia Thermal Garden – a major project for the local administration
The new facility will be situated on 3.24 hectares of land, on the left bank of Crişul Repede, instead of a part of the current Ioşia Swimming Pool. There will be a complex of thermal water pools, 5 located on the outside and on the 12 inside.
It is an area that includes a wellness spa and relaxation areas for the elderly. It will have leisure capacities for those who simply want to come in and enjoy themselves. This aquapark will not simply be for fun but it will also serve as a thermal garden that will service both the inhabitants of Oradea and the tourists who arrive to the city, according to the City Hall.

The capacity of the complex will be for an influx of approximately 1700 people per day in summertime, respectively 600 people per day during winter. Parking spaces will be arranged in accordance with the needs of the objective, with a minimum of 147 places, to which the existing parking spaces around the site will also be added.
In August, Oradea City Hall will submit the project for approval to the Local Council. Funding will be provided next year through European funds, on a financing axis for tourism and spas, and from the city’s own contribution. The works will start in 2021 and will last for a period of two years. By completing this project, Oradea will confirm its position as a top-tier spa town.
