Shevchenko Park is the largest and oldest park in Odessa, in pre-Soviet times it was called "Alexander Park". The park was named after the Russian Emperor Alexander II, who came to its opening and even planted a small oak tree near the central alley with his own hands. In memory of the king's visit, a column was erected on the earthen rampart - the remnant of the earthen fortifications of the Khadzhibey fortress, which, having survived several renamings, has survived to this day. The Odessa establishment liked the new park so much that it was here that the first line of the city tram was laid.
And after a hundred years, Shevchenko Park is loved by residents and guests of the city.
In addition to the Alexander Column, here you can see the remains of the Khadzhibey fortress - the oldest building in Odessa, the city stadium "Chernomorets", completely reconstructed in 2011, the Walk of Fame with a monument to the "Unknown Sailor", which is located Odessa "Post No. 1", a monument to "Afghans" , a monument dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the Black Sea Shipping Company...Beautiful panoramic views of the sea and the port open up from Suvorovskaya Alley, and children will surely enjoy the Lunapark with a real French carousel and the "highest in Ukraine" Ferris wheel. At the Central entrance to the park, located from the side of Sabansky Lane, visitors are greeted by a ten-meter statue of Taras Shevchenko. During the days of Ukrainian national holidays, ceremonial events and concerts are held at its pedestal.
To the right of the monument to Taras Grigorievich is the entrance to the Green Theater, which today is a pile of ruins and looks more like the remains of a Roman amphitheater. In the old days, such Soviet pop stars as Leonid Utyosov, Arkady Raikin, Tarapunka and Shtepsel shone on the stage of the Green Theater ...Interesting fact: the Green Theater was built in 1936 on the site of a pit dug back in tsarist times, here the city government planned to equip a pond reminiscent of the Black Sea. However, the budget, as always, was not enough - they only had time to dig an oval hole, and there the revolution happened, there was no time for a pond. After all, the resulting hole was dubbed the "Black Sea", and the Odessa boys played football here - we can say that it was from this place that the history of the Chernomorets football team began.
Walking along the shady alleys of Shevchenko Park, you will come out to the sea, to the famous city beach "Langeron" and to the Odessa Dolphinarium "Nemo".
Shevchenko Park can be reached by trams 5 and 28, trolleybuses 2 and 3, as well as by minibus 233.
