About the park
Before the park was created, this was marshland with sparse natural stands of birch, willow and poplar. Its second section is divided by Kolkhoznaya Street and contains two artificial ponds: the northern pond covers 3.6 hectares and the central one 8.9 hectares. Water occupies a substantial share of this section. In the south-western part of the first phase, a 4.2-hectare arboretum was planted between 1957 and 1972. It contains 80 plant species, including Siberian cedar pine, red oak, catalpa and mono maple; many are unusual in the flora of Nizhny Novgorod. In the historic core, broad avenues and flower parterres run alongside multi-row plantings of lime trees.

The park was conceived as part of Sotsgorod, without an initial separate decision to allocate land for it. Planning for the Central Park of Culture and Recreation began in 1934 under architect A. S. Nikolsky. Its regular layout was organised around axes crossing at right angles; the principal axis was a 15-metre-wide lime avenue with a parterre and a system of fountains. The main body of work on the first phase, covering 16 hectares, was intended to be completed by 1942, but the war intervened. Work resumed in 1944. By early 1945, planning works covered 8 hectares, and 10,000 trees and shrubs had been planted. In 1959, GAZ’s press shop built a fountain in the park. In 1993, the park was designated a monument of landscape architecture.
Birds recorded nearby include the great tit, Eurasian coot, European greenfinch, common chaffinch and Eurasian tree sparrow.
