Description of the attraction
This park is located in the Dnieper region, not far from the Darnitsa metro station, which is very convenient for those who wish to get to it from other parts of the city. The Victory Park of Culture and Leisure was created in 1965, comfortably located between the Komsomolsk and Voskresensk residential areas on the left bank of the Dnieper. In order to renovate the park in 2008, it was reconstructed. The total area of the park is no less than 82.61 hectares. On this territory there is a pine forest, through which park alleys are laid, a decorative lake with an island to which arched bridges are thrown, sports grounds (including the indoor ice rink "Ldinka"). Those who want to have fun here are waiting for numerous attractions, both old, Soviet times, and new ones, transferred from the amusement park, which was previously located on Lesnaya. Those who prefer the cultural program to all types of recreation will like the presence of the Covesnik concert and dance pavilion. With the help of the observation wheel about 30 m high, you can admire the panorama of the left bank of the capital.
The Mound of Immortality is located on the main alley of the Victory Park of Culture and Leisure. This mound was opened in June 1967 with the aim of perpetuating the memory of the heroes who gave their lives for freedom during the Second World War. The mound is very symbolic - it was poured from the ground that was brought from partisan and soldier's graves located in different parts of the former USSR, as well as foreign countries. The mound is based on a five-pointed star, a well-known Soviet symbol. The architects of the memorial were O. Stukalov and A. Snitsarev. In 2004, to the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of Ukraine from the invaders, the mound was reconstructed.
