Vitya Cherevichkin Children's Park, Children's park in central Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
Vitya Cherevichkin Children's Park is a green space in central Rostov-on-Don with various attractions for visitors of different ages. It features playgrounds, an aqua park called Schooner with water pools, trampoline activities, and small electric carts to explore, all connected by a network of walking paths.
The park was founded in 1880 as Alexandrovsky Garden and received its current name in 1965 to honor a young resident of the city. The renaming was an act of remembrance for World War II events and the losses the region experienced.
The park is named after a child from Rostov who died during World War II, and this history remains part of local memory. Families use it today as a gathering place for time together and leisure, giving it special meaning in city life.
The park is located near the Don River embankment promenade, making it easy to reach and offering nice views. Most visitors come on weekends or during warmer months when all facilities are fully operating and weather conditions are pleasant.
On a bridge in the park, there is a metal grid where couples attach small locks to symbolize luck and love. This ritual behavior is popular among visitors and creates a living expression of personal wishes.
