Парк Центрального района Барнаула, Public park in Tsentralny District, Barnaul, Russia
Central District Park in Barnaul is a green area covering several hectares with trees, plants, and walking paths throughout its grounds. The space includes playgrounds, sports facilities, and seasonal features like an ice rink in winter months.
From the mid-18th century the site held an apothecary garden where medicinal plants were grown; in the 19th century it became a botanical garden. In 1885 the park was handed to Barnaul's society for the care of primary education, led by V. Shtilke. Children's and adults' rides appeared only in 1948–1949, by which time a summer cinema with a veranda, an open-air stage and a dance floor already stood here.
