Molodezhnyi park, Urban recreation park in Samara, Russia.
Molodezhnyi Park is a roughly 30-hectare urban park in Samara's Industrial District, stretching along Stavropolskaya Street between Novo-Vokzalnaya and Voronezhskaya streets. Its layout centres on a former natural lake whose bed was tiled in 2023, and it contains a wooden Orthodox church built around 2010 in honour of the Icon of the Mother of God "Tenderness". A pedestrian Alley of Labour Glory, opened in 1985, runs along Prospekt Yunykh Pionerov between this park and the Park of the 50th Anniversary of October.
The park opened in 1976 as Park im. 50-letiya VLKSM, marking the 50th anniversary of the Komsomol. In 1985 the pedestrian Alley of Labour Glory was laid out on Prospekt Yunykh Pionerov between this park and the Park of the 50th Anniversary of October. It was renamed Molodezhny in 1994. In 2005 part of the land near Novo-Vokzalnaya Street was allocated for a shopping centre, a decision contested by the prosecutor's office in 2006.
The park has served as a gathering place for young people and families from the neighborhood since its creation. You can see groups exercising, children playing, and neighbors chatting on the benches throughout the day.
The park can be accessed from multiple entrances and remains open year-round for visitors. The best conditions occur from spring through fall when the pathways are dry and the weather is pleasant.
The grounds feature native plant species from the region and serve as a habitat for birds that are common along the Volga. Visitors can observe local flora and wildlife that is typical to this area.
