This park in the city of Kremenchug has existed for a very long time, but it has never been properly cared for, and therefore only people from nearby houses came to walk here. Although there is a lake in the park, which was created back in 1787 on the initiative of Grigory Potemkin, and the opening was timed to coincide with the arrival of Catherine II. Initially, this park had a fairly large area and was mainly planted with fruit trees, but since it was located outside the city at that time, the townspeople rarely visited it. Over time, part of the park area was given to people for development and it became much smaller. It is in this form that the park now exists, but it is already located almost in the center of the city.
In Soviet times, it was renamed the railwaymen's park, although nothing changed in it after the name change, there was devastation and desolation.
And in 2007, when a new mayor came to power, they decided to give the park a new life. And now it is a favorite place of many citizens, and especially children.
The lake was cleared of thickets and reeds, ennobled, a gazebo was built in the center of the lake and a small bridge was made to it. Now it just looks amazing. They called this island in the middle of the lake Altanka of lovers. Many people come here to relax from the daily hustle and bustle and enjoy the beauties of nature. A lot of foreigners come.
Many fish were released into the lake. And most importantly, now two pairs of swans live on the lake - black and white swans. All conditions for living have been created for them, and they do not even fly to warmer climes. If it gets very cold, they temporarily move to a private farm for wintering, although they also have a heated house on the lake.
In addition to swans, several pairs of ducks live on the lake, and this year Vietnamese pigs have also appeared, which are very fond of children.
Swimming in the lake and fishing is prohibited, but you can feed birds and animals, which is used not only by children, but also by adults. It is very exciting to watch the swans and ducks on the lake. Moreover, they are not at all afraid of people. The black pair of swans - Masha and Grisha have already brought offspring twice this year, and the little swans have gone to live in other places to also please people with their majestic appearance.
And not so long ago, a not quite sober man climbed into the lake to swim, then the swan Grisha immediately defended his family and gave this man a beating.
So it is worth visiting the park at any time and at any age - vivid emotions and good mood are guaranteed!
