PARKS
In 1992
and 1993 the price of wood in Sarajevo was 350 DM per cubic meter.
Parks were places where citizens got their wood. The wood from Sarajevo
parks could be bought at markets, neatly cut and packed in bags. The prices
varied according to the weather forecasts. Even the park benches ended
up in the hand-made stoves.
The best preserved city park is the first park established in the city
- the Central Park. Parks appeared relatively late in Sarajevo, during
the period of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, because there were so many
green areas that there was no need for them. The first parks were actually
redesigned old Muslim cemeteries.
