The Armed Forces Park, located in the municipal community of Tavros, covers an area of fifty-three acres. To the east, it fronts onto Konstantioupoleos Ave., while to the north and northeast it borders on Plot 153A, which houses residences for the Ministry of National Defense personnel. To the south and southwest, adjacent to the entrance on Eirinis Ave, the park is flanked by residential areas and a beverage industry. To the west, it borders on military pharmaceutical warehouses and an open parking area for heavy vehicles. Its uses include a Traffic Education Park, open-air cinema, cafeteria, playground, and a refreshment stand. The park is open to visitors daily, with access from both entrances on Konstantinoupoleos Avenue. The northern entrance, although equipped with parking space, is open only to pedestrians. The southern and central entrances have parking space and are next to the open-air cinema, which attracts many visitors during the summer months.
The park is the only green space of such size for the residents of the Municipality of Moschato-Tavros; even on a metropolitan level, the only green area of similar size in close proximity is Philopappou Hill in Koukaki, Athens. Therefore, the park attracts many visitors from surrounding districts, including schools that visit the Traffic Education Park, while many people come on a daily basis for cycling or walking. Residents of Tavros enter the park from the secondary entrance, on Eirinis Ave., while the entrance from Samou Street remains closed and is mainly used by municipal maintenance vehicles.
As part of the overall upgrade of the park, all railings are replaced, and a new metal fence is installed on the existing cement wall along Konstantinoupoleos Ave. The ground is covered with gardening soil, with local groundwork amendments for reaching the desired height. New paths and flowerbeds are designed throughout, and the existing cable network is buried, accommodating new 3m-high lighting poles along the pathways. The new underground power supply network additionally supports the pumping station and the open air cinema. The interior of the playground is reconfigured with safety rubber floors, modern equipment, pergolas, and three different types of seating. The walking surfaces are covered with porous, compacted processed soil, pebbles or gravel, and bark, while wooden curbs are constructed in the planting beds. Signage is upgraded with metal signs for guidance and navigation.
