Victory Park in Odessa (Many photos)

August 2018 · 4 min read · Odesa

We will continue to talk about parks. After all, these are the zones where residents and guests of cities can rest easy and have fun. Let me introduce you Victory Park in Odessa. In the past, this park bore the name of the leader of the proletariat of Lenin. Modern landscaping makes this place not just cozy, but also beautiful. Here can relax not only adults, but also children.

So, we go on an excursion

This paradise is located on Shevchenko Avenue. To be precise, it is located on the territory of Arcadia. The park was laid back in 1960. April 22, this year, in honor of the 90th anniversary of the birth of the father of the revolution, the city authorities decided to clear a large waste ground from thickets and debris. To implement this goal, the mayor's office announced a subbotnik. It was decided to break the recreation park on the spot of this wasteland. Conscious citizens of the city, armed with shovels and hammers, went to war with desolation and thickets of weeds.

Yes, they had to work hard. After all, do not forget that the area of ​​the arboretum is 55 hectares. During its existence here was planted, within 400 species of shrubs and trees. Here you can see Blue spruce, birch, magnolia and so on. It should be noted that representatives of other hero cities participated in the improvement of this territory. In particular, cosmonauts Shonin and Bykovsky made their efforts.

Already in the next decade, after the foundation, an artificial, concrete pond was created on the territory of the park. If accurate, this is a chain that consists of four lakes. The length of the lakes is 760 m. The area of ​​the water surface is 250 sotkas. In the future, the ponds were equipped with various fountains. You just imagine how beautiful it is when on a sunny day, water jets soar upwards from the smooth water surface of the lake and flow with all colors of the rainbow! Frankly, the beauty is incredible!

Next to one of the entrances to the park, is a monument to the submariners. To be precise, it is located near the Sports Palace. It is enough to cross the road and enter the square on 10 April and you will be able to read the names of all the heroes who fought for our Fatherland with the fascist invaders. Do not forget that it was in this park that many scenes from the adventure children's film "Adventures of Electronics" were shot.

Recreation and entertainment

Two artificial islands have been created on the lake. One can be considered one hundred percent childish. Children's playground is equipped with modern entertainment tools. In addition, here you can see the head of the hero and a stone fortress. On the lake, and in the park itself, guests and residents of the city are waiting for a wide variety of attractions.

For those who are fond of sports, they can offer a bicycle for rent. Here you can make a boat trip along the cascade of lakes. Lovers of animals, can make a horseback riding. At what, you can ride on horseback horses, which are brought here from the racetrack. But, many city dwellers come here with their children not only for the sake of rest, but also to feed fish and birds.

In the photos you see the permanent inhabitants of the park. For those who are hungry during a walk, there are small cafes in the park, where they can offer you a tasty meal.

After the reconstruction, three slides appeared in the park. If you climb to the very top of any of these mountains, then you will see a magnificent view. Do not be lazy And try to visit the park not only during the day, but also in the evening. You will get an unforgettable experience.
