Lisi Lake
Lake Urban lake and park area in Tbilisi
A short drive from central Tbilisi, Lisi Lake provides jogging and cycling paths, waterside cafés and local birdwatching popular with residents and weekend visitors.
Lisi Lake is an urban lake and recreational area on the outskirts of Tbilisi, Georgia. It functions as a local leisure destination with walking routes and lakeside amenities.
The site includes a waterside promenade, informal cafés and paths used for walking, jogging and cycling, and it is used by locals for everyday recreation and birdwatching. The lake and adjacent land have been the subject of phased development and public debate about urban expansion.
The lake is located on the western edge of central Tbilisi, between residential neighbourhoods and city parkland, forming part of the city’s suburban recreational belt.
- Recreation: Evening walks and cycling along the lake promenade are popular with residents, and the area hosts cafés and informal recreation rather than large organised facilities.
- Development note: Recent years have seen multiple development proposals for the lakeside area, which have generated local debate about public access and environmental management.
