Park of Glory, Memorial park in Kherson, Ukraine.
The Park of Glory stretches along the Dnieper River bank with monuments, walking paths, and landscaped grounds. Its flat terrain is easy to navigate and offers several open areas for gathering and spending time.
The memorial was established in 1988 and incorporates the Soviet history of the region into its design. A T-34 tank and a monument to the unknown soldier define its physical presence.
The park holds a sculptural composition showing a grieving mother with an image of Jesus, dedicated to soldiers who never came home from Afghanistan. This representation touches many visitors who have personal connections to that conflict.
The grounds feature multiple accessible pathways and plenty of seating areas for resting and lingering. Proximity to public transportation stops makes visiting straightforward.
Around 65 children from Kherson were affected by the Afghanistan conflict, making the memorials particularly significant for residents. This personal dimension gives the park greater weight for many local visitors.
