Парк Перамогі, Мінск, Memorial park in central Minsk, Belarus
Victory Park covers 200 hectares beside Komsomolskoye Lake in central Minsk, bounded by Pobediteley and Masherov avenues. Broad lawns of close-cut grass are divided by straight paved paths and rows of trees; a small stone-lined inlet opens off the lake, edged with a low wall. A monument on a low rectangular base stands on open grass near the inlet, and dense trees line the far shore.
Construction began in 1941 with a dam on the Svisloch River that created the artificial lake. The site remained under development due to the Second World War but was eventually completed and opened to the public.
The war museum within the park displays weapons, photographs, and personal items from soldiers who fought during the Second World War. These objects tell stories of ordinary people who lived through the conflict and help visitors understand what happened during that time.
The park has cycling paths, sports facilities, and playgrounds that remain open throughout the year. It is easy to walk around and find places to rest or enjoy different types of outdoor activities.
The park's 200 hectares make it larger than Moscow's Victory Park, which covers 135 hectares. About 33,000 trees and 25,000 shrubs were planted, with conifers such as spruce and fir forming the dominant accents in the skyline. The main entrance avenue runs from southwest to northeast.
