Park kultury y otdykha ym. T. Shevchenko - Oleksandriia, vul. Sadova

Description of the sight

The park really had a stormy youth. He very quickly matured and flourished thanks to the efforts of Marya Grigoryevna. This woman, who devoted her life to flowers, planted the alleys of the park with roses, and they delighted the miners resting in the park with their aromas and flowers. And there was a place to rest. The park had everything you need. In our photographs from the past, to our great regret, much of what was in the park is missing. For example, a reading room. Here's how to explain what it is to modern youth? Let's just say it's something like an Internet cafe. There you could read a fresh book or find out the latest news. The most interesting thing is that no one took away books, magazines and newspapers for the winter. The flimsy wooden structure was locked with the same flimsy padlock and left to winter until next summer. There was also a shooting gallery, a dance floor, three fountains, a monument to Lenin, a playground, a summer cinema, a volleyball and mini football ground. What else did you forget? Aha! Lanterns and stalls with water and ice cream. And a lot of vacationers. But how quickly it all arose, so quickly everything disappeared. In the 70s, it was still possible to understand that quite recently there was a luxurious place to relax and even go to the movies in the summer in the evening. But that was already the beginning of the end. I don’t even want to talk about what this park is today. Sorry sight. There is no trace of its former splendor. Only with a very great imagination and our photographs from the past, you can try to mentally travel back to the 60s of the last century and imagine yourself in the place of our grandparents.
