Abstract. Since 2010, the astronomical society ”Eureka” has been actively working on the promotion of astronomy in Kruševac and Serbia. It carries out numerous activities, among which, in addition to citizen science projects and lectures, are astronomical observations. In 2022, the society managed to accomplish the most important project since its founding, which is the construction of the ”Šarengrad” astronomical observatory in the area of the ”Šarengrad” amusement park. An year of work has passed since its opening, which is an excellent opportunity for analysis and further improvement of the work. In this paper, we shall present the results of our work in the past year including the citizen science projects and promotion of astronomy in general, along with the brief description of the project that led to the build-up of the first urban observatory in Kruševac with its implementation.
