Kurasoŭščyna Park, Recreation park in Minsk, Belarus

Kurasoŭščyna Park is a green area in Minsk bounded by Kazintsa, Karzhenevskaha and Brestskaya streets, built around the Loshitsa reservoir. The reservoir was formed in the 1970s by damming the Loshitsa River in two places. The park has a embankment, paths, lighting, cycle tracks and the Solnechnaya Dolina sports facility on an artificial hill. In its western part, separated by Kazintsa Street, stands the 19th-century estate known as the White Dacha.

The park was established in 1985 during a period of urban expansion in Soviet Minsk. Its creation reflects the planning policies of that era aimed at providing green spaces in growing city centers.

The park was laid out in 1985 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic War, and that date still frames its identity. In its western part, separated from the main grounds by Kazintsa Street, stands the late 19th-century estate known as the White Dacha, an architectural monument. The artificial hill left over from building the reservoir now serves as a ski slope.

The park is accessible through several entrance points with bus services nearby for easy arrival. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the paths experience changing conditions across seasons.

The Loshitsa reservoir was created in the 1970s by damming the Loshitsa River in two places, mainly to supply water for the neighbouring Integral electronics plant. Earth left over from that work became the artificial hill later used as the ski slope of the Solnechnaya Dolina sports facility.
