Gorky Park

Gorky Park is a recreation park that stretches along the Lugan River with walking paths, rest areas, and open spaces for outdoor enjoyment. The grounds feature amenities for visitors of different ages within a connected landscape.

The park opened in 1936 following a design by architect Oleksandr Sheremet and represents how public green spaces were planned during that period. It reflects the approach to urban park design that was common in Soviet cities.

The park is named after Russian writer Maxim Gorky and serves as a gathering place where residents meet for community events and celebrations throughout the seasons.

The park can be reached through several entry points located around the area, making it easy to access from different parts of the neighborhood. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially during warmer months.

The park still preserves much of its original layout and design elements from the 1930s. Visitors often notice the classic benches and how the pathways were arranged, which belong to a different era.
