Park "Scarlet Sails" in Voronezh for family rest. Address, reviews

The left-bank district of the city of Voronezh, which is located on the shore of a wide reservoir, is very quiet and picturesque. This territory is planted with tall pine trees, which give coolness to the townspeople in hot summer. Here is located one of the most beautiful green areas of the region - the park "Scarlet Sails". About the history and features of this park will tell our material.

Picturesque corner

Most of the garden compositions appeared on this territory with the beginning of the Soviet rule. It was a good tradition to plant new public gardens and solemnly open them.

So it happened in Voronezh. Those who have been in this city before the collapse of the USSR, accurately remember the interesting and beautiful green town. The park began its history on July 8, 1975. The site for the object was chosen very successfully: the shore of the reservoir was planted with lush and tall pines. These trees even today please the townspeople with a shady cool in the summer. Another advantage was the Voronezh Sea. On the shore of the reservoir people swam and sunbathed. But in the early 1990s, sanitary services prohibited bathing because the quality of the water did not match the norm. Since then, fishing here has an exclusively sporting interest.

New breath

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the park began to decline. A beautiful and quiet square waited several years of indifference. In 2009 the object was transferred to municipal property.

A year later the square began to revive. On its territory, various festivals and contests were held for the citizens. But the complex needed general reconstruction and renovation. Therefore, in 2011, restoration work began.

And already on September 15 the park "Scarlet Sails" was inaugurated. This event was dedicated to the 425th anniversary of the founding of the city of Voronezh. Olivier Dame worked on the composition. He is a French landscape designer and architect working as an adviser in the Ministry of Culture of his native country. Thanks to the light hand of the master of the park, Parisian airiness and luxury are inherent. Then the professional started another Voronezh Square - "Dynamo".

Enchanting discovery

Olivier Dame successfully graduated in his homeland Versailles School. Currently, all of France listens to his ideas for the arrangement of gardens. It was lucky and Voronezh to work with this outstanding architect.

Park "Scarlet Sails" is an ode of naturalness and weightlessness. The idea of the author was to use a minimum of artificial materials, so the object was decorated with a tree. Reconstruction was carried out day and night, but despite this, at the opening the complex could not please visitors with all the beauty. Lawns did not have time to turn green, and flowers bloom. But children's and sports grounds have earned.

A real highlight of the park was a specially bred and grown variety of roses, which were called "Voronezh". They inhabited the territory of squirrels and birds. For the birds they even built a special town.

The grand opening of the theatrical performance was completed. The audience was shown a performance, the protagonists of which were the characters of Alexander Green's novel "Scarlet Sails".

A quiet harbor

Since the park was renovated, the Left Bank district of Voronezh is a favorite place for family holidays. They can find entertainment for themselves, both children and their parents.

Excellent fun can be on the sports grounds. Play in the park in football, basketball and volleyball. You can compete on tennis tables. In winter, the stadium turns into an ice rink. Children can play in sandboxes, on hills and carousels. Visitors spend interesting time on the dance floor. There is a convenient open-air cinema.

Along the avenues there are shops where you can sit quietly and watch the nature. In the park a person is resting from the city bustle. Pleases visitors and the fact that in the territory of this small reserve you can not drink alcohol, smoke, foul language and be in a state of drug or alcohol intoxication. And the guests of the complex note that these rules are observed on weekdays. But this, unfortunately, can not be said about the festive dates.

Miscellaneous vacation

The territory of the park is uneven. This plot of land of 6.2 hectares is covered with hills and steep slopes. But they are very convenient for traveling.

The Scarlet Sails Park is also practicing mass walks. Day of the city of Voronezh meets in a special way. In this square, famous musicians are invited, and the holiday ends with traditional fireworks.

It is possible to sit quietly and comfortably in a chess house, also known as a library. Many visitors come here with their books. There is also the Internet. But the guests of the park note that the signal is very weak. In addition, modern phones do not hold much energy, and there is nowhere to recharge the gadget. If you prefer active leisure, then on the malls you can ride bicycles.

For fans of history in the center there are stands with information about various periods of development of the city.

On the shore of the pond

The park "Scarlet Sails" (Voronezh) was packed into many different entertainments. Address of the complex: st. Arzamas, 93.

As already mentioned, the object is located on the shore of the Voronezh reservoir. Everybody can sunbathe here. On the beach there are cabins for changing clothes and a fungus, under which you can hide from the sun. However, visitors are unpleasantly struck by the fact that he is only one. Here you can also order a boat on which to swim in the reservoir.

Rent and catamarans. The time of rent and the price for one session is determined by the administration. But guests of the park note that they usually take the ship for 30 minutes, and the amount as a fee for entertainment is high and is from 300 rubles. On clear days, customers complain about long lines. Therefore, those who visited the park are advised to come here in the morning.

Almost constantly on the water swim ducks, who gladly eat bread and rolls.

Attractions of the complex

I like all the park "Scarlet Sails" (Voronezh). The mode of the complex: from 7 am to 23 pm.

Visitors note that there are dozens of places where successful and vivid photos will come out, which will please you for a long time. Here, beautiful and lush flower beds are constantly blooming, and from the shore an amazing panorama to the right side of the city opens. There are two very beautiful metal sculptures in the form of a small brown bear and a large pine cone. But those who visited the park, are recommended to be photographed at the ship with scarlet sails.

It is pleasant to surprise visitors that it is forbidden to walk dogs in the territory. For them a special playground is located, which is far from the central avenues.

Negative feedback park guests leave about a free public toilet. Visitors complain that it is always dirty there.

Recommendations from "experienced"

There are cafes and restaurants on the territory where you can eat deliciously. But visitors do not like the price. Therefore, those who have already visited the park more than once, recommend feeding the children at home before the walk. Also, it is better for children to wear hats, because not all parts of the park are protected from sunlight. There are a lot of attractions on the territory, but the cost of tickets bites, so it's better to immediately explain to the children that all the fun of money may not be enough.

Has its big parking lot for cars park "Scarlet Sails". How to get to the green corner? The question that residents of the city does not arise. But for tourists we will inform you: several routes run from the different ends of Voronezh to the complex. There are buses (there are about 10 of them) and trams under numbers 4 and 11. You need to go out on Leninsky Prospekt. Your stop is Arzamasskaya Street. From there to the entrance to the park you need to walk three to four minutes on foot.

There is always an atmosphere of celebration and joy. The mood is raised by street musicians playing and singing in a wide variety of styles. The townspeople declare that they come to the park "Scarlet Sails" for clean air from exhaust gases and tobacco smoke.
