Первомайский сквер, Central park in Novosibirsk, Russia.
Pervomaisky Square is a public park in the center of Novosibirsk featuring a large fountain and a smaller children's water feature with a bear statue. The space is laid out with pathways and planted areas creating different zones for visitors to sit and walk.
The area was a marketplace until 1932 when architect V. M. Teitel redesigned it as a public park. This transformation was part of the city's development during the Soviet period.
The name refers to the May Day holiday, reflecting Soviet roots of the city. Locals gather here to spend time outdoors, particularly around the fountains and planted areas.
The park is located opposite the city hall building and close to Lenin Square metro station, making it easy to reach. It is free to visit throughout the year and accessible on foot from nearby streets.
A pink tuff khachkar monument installed in 2000 by sculptor Aram Grigoryan represents the Armenian community's presence in the city. This carved stone is an unusual feature to find in a Siberian city park.
