Дубки, French formal garden in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
Dubki is a park in the Leninsky district of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, running along Lenin Avenue and bordered by Novikov-Priboy and Admiral Nakhimov streets. It holds a stand of oaks more than 100 years old, alongside planted maples, lindens, birches, firs and poplars. Since 2018 it has been rebuilt in three stages: the first, finished in November 2018, brought new lighting, footpaths, a ski track and a Nordic-walking path.
Dubki stands where oak groves historically grew, and it still holds a section of oaks over 100 years old. In December 2013 Tele2, with residents and the Leninsky district administration, installed children's rides, benches and walking paths in one part of the park, the first improvement there in ten years. Reconstruction began in 2018 in three stages; the first ended in November 2018 with new lighting, footpaths, a ski track and a Nordic walking path.
The park's name comes from the oak groves that historically grew on this site, and oaks over 100 years old still stand here. In December 2013 Tele2, with residents and the Leninsky district administration, installed new children's rides, benches and walking paths at one section near the main entrance. A former House of Culture "Dvigatel Revolyutsii" on the grounds was later converted into the Lukomorye hostel.
The park runs along Lenin Avenue, bordered by Novikov-Priboy and Admiral Nakhimov streets; the Rumo factory stands across Lenin Avenue at Admiral Nakhimov Street 1. Trams 3 and 21 stop at the park, and Proletarskaya metro station is nearby, as are buses 64 and 20. Since the first stage of works finished in November 2018, the grounds have new lighting, footpaths, a ski track and a Nordic walking trail.
