Excerpt: Eastern view of TaSmajdan ParkTaSmajdan Park (Serbian Cyrillic: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿, Latin: TaSmajdanski park), colloquially TaSmajdan or simply just TaS, is a public park and the surrounding urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Palilula. Entire TaSmajdan Park is now closed for largest reconstruction since park creation in 1958.

TaSmajdan is bordered by the neighborhoods of Palilula on the northeast, while it extends into the neighborhoods of Vukov Spomenik, Krunski Venac and Nikola PaSic Square on the east, south and west, respectively.
