The European Park in Maribor continues to thrive despite challenging conditions, celebrating its 26th anniversary in 2026. It remains a popular destination for generations, known for continuous development, new offerings, and experiences. Recent updates include investments in energy efficiency and creating spaces for gatherings and events suitable for all ages. On August 31, 2026, during a press conference, key investments and future plans were announced, highlighting sustainable measures and the upcoming birthday celebrations scheduled for September 3–5, 2026. Simona Mandl, the center manager of European Park, emphasized that the success of the park is due to clear development vision, readiness for change, and understanding the space beyond traditional shopping. She noted that the combination of quality offerings, excellent visitor experience, consistent investment in development, and openness to changes explains why visitors remain loyal after 26 years. Investments in the park have exceeded six million euros in 2025 and four million euros in 2026. Notable projects include the extensive renovation of parking areas set to conclude in the following year and the implementation of a cooling system using ice banks, which allows more efficient energy consumption management. Sustainability is integrated into daily operations at European Park, exemplified by the ice bank cooling system. This technology enables the storage of cooling energy during periods of cheaper electricity and its use during times of higher prices. Simona Mandl explained that sustainability is understood broadly and incorporated into the park's development. Through investments and thoughtful actions, they aim to create an environment where visitors feel well while contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle. Facilities such as electric vehicle charging stations and bike-sharing systems via MBajk are available, along with collection points for used clothing, footwear, and home textiles. Initiatives to promote biodiversity include delayed mowing of grasslands, enhancing conditions for pollinators and natural environments. New offerings at European Park’s shopping streets in the past year include Zlatarna Aura, Polleo Sport, Vse za telephone, Tutto Capsule, TCG Park, and others, reflecting the park’s commitment to catering to diverse lifestyles and interests. These additions underscore the park’s ongoing efforts to stay relevant and appealing to a wide range of visitors, ensuring continued growth and community engagement.
