Rocket Park, Space exhibition park in Dnipro, Ukraine.
Rocket Park is a space exhibition area in Dnipro featuring three full-size rockets manufactured by the local Yuzhmash plant. The grounds include an information center called Space Hub that provides technical context and details about each vehicle on display.
The rockets displayed represent Ukraine's role in Soviet-era space exploration, manufactured at the Yuzhmash facility that served as a major hub for such technology. This plant's output became foundational to the nation's aerospace capabilities during that historical period.
Two memorial sections within the park honor victims of the Chornobyl disaster and soldiers who died in the Donbas conflict. These tributes shape how visitors move through the space and connect the site to larger human stories beyond space exploration.
Visitors can move through the grounds on marked paths to view the rockets from different angles and distances. Guided tours are available for those seeking detailed technical explanations, while the Space Hub serves as a reference point for orientation.
The rockets were manufactured in the very city where they are now displayed, creating a direct link to Dnipro's aerospace industry heritage. This local connection makes the visit meaningful because it shows visitors exactly where advanced spacecraft technology was actually built.
