About the park

The park emerged after the war. On 5 May 1961, the district executive committee formally decided to open a district park of culture and recreation on Telmana Street. In the 1980s and 1990s, it had amusement rides and a boat station. After a period of decline, development threatened the park in 2004. Local residents wrote to Lyudmila Putina, whose childhood was spent in the neighbouring district; with her support, the park was saved. New rides, a children's motoring town and an artificial-ice rink followed. Construction of the Centre for the Development of Interpersonal Communications began in 2004. Its building, in the Russian classical style, recalls a 19th-century noble estate; the centre opened on 1 September 2007.

Birds recorded nearby include the rock pigeon, mallard, Eurasian jackdaw, common wood-pigeon and hooded crow.
