Parc central de Novossibirsk, Urban park in central Novosibirsk, Russia
Central Park of Novosibirsk is a large green space in the city center with walking paths, recreational areas, and a seasonal ice skating rink. The park provides additional leisure activities and rest spots for visitors during warmer months.
The park was established in 1925 as one of the first organized public recreational spaces in the city. This founding marked a turning point in Novosibirsk's development as an urban center.
The park's name changed with the political eras: founded as the Cemetery Garden, it became Stalin Park in the 1930s, lost the patronymic on 4 October 1961, and gained "Central" on 4 December 1963. A memorial plaque on the administration building honours songwriter Nikolai Kudrin.
The park is easily accessible and provides plenty of space for walking and exploring, especially during warmer months. In winter, be prepared for icy conditions and bring warm clothing plus non-slip footwear.
The park's administration building carries a memorial plaque to the songwriter Nikolai Kudrin. The site was formerly the Voskresenskoye Cemetery, and the first rides appeared in 1944; a light-and-music fountain opened on 11 September 2019.
