The Yuri Gagarin Park (Samara). Attractions in the park. Gagarin

In each city there are places that its residents often visit. And they do not just come here because there is nowhere else to go. Come specially, for they like to rest here.

This is the park of culture and recreation, which we want to talk about. He, according to the rating, was included in the group "Best Russian Recreation Parks". What is it that attracts visitors so much? Let's open the secret.

Most visited

In the largest - Industrial - area park named after Yuri Gagarin (Samara) is located on the territory of 34 hectares. It was opened a long time ago - in 1976. This is today the place that it occupies, it is considered the geographical center of the city. And before that there was a very ordinary, unremarkable outskirts. And here very few people from the townspeople looked.

And now here is Yuri Gagarin's favorite park. Samara has the right to be proud of this. The park is the most massive in terms of attendance. It is located in the most central and large administrative district of the city.

Unhappy story

Once in this forest (in the 1930s-1940s) housed houses of workers of the NKVD. Not far from them people were buried, but not dead by their death. Shooted. Not here they were killed - in other places. And then secretly, at night they were brought here and dumped in common graves. According to official figures, over the years they have accumulated no fewer than several thousand people.

For a very long time the location of these secret burials could not be found. There are so many trees in the park. Dubki, in fact, were planted in order to hide these terrible places. Therefore, over each pit, when there were 20-30 people thrown in, a young oak was planted. The Chekists thought that such strong, powerful trees would never be destroyed. And the remains of the unfortunate, killed innocently people will not find. But found. Nine tombs were discovered. There are about 3600 people in them.

Now in place of one such pit is an obelisk made of marble. And the inscription, which says that the victims of repression are buried here. "Let us bow to the memory of the innocently dead," they say.

And many people have heard about this. Veterans from other cities, for example, even specifically come to the address: Samara, Gagarin's Park - to pay tribute to these people.

But enough about the sad. Today is a different life. Of course, the Samarans know about this historical place and always remember. They come here, in the park named after Yuri Gagarin (Samara was not accidentally famous for him), also to look at samples of military equipment of the Great Patriotic War. They are put on the field for a special review.

And the lake with swans

According to the project of this zone, everything here is created for a comfortable rest of people. Powerful oaks, fluffy spruce, curly maples - that's what makes the park named after Yuri Gagarin (Samara).

Also from the day of foundation in this recreation area live squirrels. They can be fed from the hands, which gives great pleasure to adults and children.

Stadium is small, the stands are also not very much. But you have to work out where. And in winter to drive on skates.

In the summer at your service - a wonderful sports ground. It is very spacious. So there is enough space for everyone. Also in the summer months there are different competitions. For example, karting. And in the same place there are free classes on yoga. For both men and women.

In the center of this recreation area a man-made reservoir was created. With an artificial island.

Note that the park named after Yuri Gagarin (Samara) has every reason to boast of its own set of recreational and sporting events. Those and others are very diverse and healthy. And when there are bike paths, and even with the rental of sports equipment, the number of people who want to spend leisure here will increase much.

Many summer cafes and all kinds of amusements have Gagarin Park (Samara). And even a lake with swans, around which the people are constantly crowded. And the kids also strive to feed these beautiful birds.

"Three Bears"

This is not the name of a popular fairy tale. Such a sonorous name chose one café, which "settled" here 19 years ago. Workers have accumulated a lot of experience, which allows them to maintain their leadership in the market. And continue to improve the quality of their services. Not only is this culinary institution the largest in the park, in its menu - dishes of eastern and Caucasian cuisine. Cooks with their skill will amaze any gourmet.

But that's not all. At the cafe there is billiards, table tennis, air hockey. Plus a dance floor. Every evening, sounds nice music. There are dancers.

But the main highlight, of course, is rides. From extreme to family. For example, "Soft Room" is a three-story complex for children. There's a lot of interesting - a dry pool with balls, many slides, stairs, trampolines, mazes and games.

And "chip" - free Wi-Fi. And the only one for the entire park!

Now you understand why so many visitors like to come here on weekdays and weekends?

Ferris wheel

And now about what Gagarin Park in Samara is losing a little. Attractions are always required new, more refined. And it is desirable to provide this.

The fact is that five years ago, in 2010, started in the park to build a real miracle: a Ferris wheel with a height of 80 meters. It was planned that it would be the highest in the whole of Russia.

Two years have passed. The wheel did not start. Moreover, in general they dismantled. They took everything under the root! And so today the old ferris wheel is still spinning , lifting the resting people to a height of 25 meters.

But there are in the park and for fans of thrill the roller coaster and all kinds of turntables upside down. They are even scary to look at, not like sitting down and rolling yourself!

We float quietly on the boat

You can rent a boat or a catamaran to ride on a man-made channel in the summer, it also features a park named after Yuri Gagarin (Samara). Attractions, entertainment there are such: you can ride a horse and ride around in front of everyone. Or perched on a pony. But it's more suitable for the kids.

There are also children's playgrounds with all the wisdom and miracles, the karting game.

Do you want to race on rollers on clean alleys? Please, go to the rental office. All the necessary kit, including the helmet, elbow pads and knee pads, you will be given. Love a bicycle? Also there is such for those who wish.

Even in Soviet times in the forest recreation area was a real An-10. This aircraft was converted into a children's cinema "Antoshka". The children ran there for the sake of cartoons. But when in the early 90's a fire broke out, it was dismantled and was not renewed. But it should be. Is the holidaymakers such a request.

Also until 1997, the city zoo was located on this territory. He was then taken to another place.

Come by families

Beautiful alleys, a lot of recreational activities and attractions, the rental of sports equipment, several beautiful houses where you can have a snack or take away with you a delicious treat, a scene where concerts and other cultural programs take place every week - all this is popular with the townspeople. They are happy to go to Gagarin Park (Samara) whole companies or families.

The territory is always well-groomed, neat. And all the different buildings, the same shops and small cafes, have their own special style of decoration. It blends harmoniously into the overall natural landscape.

The most beautiful

And one more thing. It has become a tradition to spend here every summer a holiday of beauty and harmony - "Miss parks of Samara". The finals must be passed by the best participants, who will compete for the main prize. Here and in this June before 12 finalists there was a task to win in each of four competitions. The first is to show some creative number. The second is the answers to the questions of the jury. The third is to show yourself brightly in miniature with the leading ones. The last, the fourth - defile.
