Изумрудный парк, Urban recreation park in Oktyabrsky district, Barnaul, Russia.
Izumrudny Park is a large green space in Barnaul with paved pathways, an artificial pond where boats can be rented, and multiple sports facilities. Visitors can walk through it, enjoy water activities, or use the outdoor exercise areas.
The land was originally a cemetery but was transformed into a public park in the early 1900s. Major redesign work in the 1970s created the current layout and facilities.
The park serves as a gathering place where locals enjoy concerts and exhibitions throughout the year. These events shape community life in the neighborhood and bring residents together regularly.
The park is accessible during daytime and early evening hours on most days, with free parking available nearby and public transit stops within walking distance. It works best to stick to main paths during wet weather.
A special section is the children's traffic town, where young visitors learn road safety rules on a miniature street with real traffic signs. This interactive zone teaches safety in a playful manner.
