Cheboksary, the capital of the Chuvash Republic, is verybeautiful city. It attracts tourists not only interesting places and places of interest for history, but also natural natural beauties in the city. It is not every modern urbanized capital in our country that can afford this wealth (and be proud of it).
At 250 square kilometers of Cheboksary there areseveral dozens of large green parks, small but beautiful squares, beautiful avenues, gardens and even several natural groves. All this pleases the eyes of local residents and surprises the guests of the capital. Parks and squares are special places for rest, walks and pastime in the open air. They remind of the proximity to nature and allow you to feel this natural connection. Today we will speak about one of the parks of the capital, which was created in honor of it.
In 1969, when the capital celebrated itsthe 500th anniversary of the appearance on the pages of history, on the Volga shore, alongside the Chernyshevsky ravine, the laying of a new park was begun. However, its opening dragged on for almost a decade.
Originally planned for the park 500 anniversary(Cheboksary) to allocate a territory of two hundred hectares in order to accommodate a film theater, a pavilion for exhibitions, a separate reading area, a green theater, a stage, a dance zone, several sports and playgrounds, a summer restaurant, cafes and attractions. Only five years after the start of the park's inauguration, in 1974, the city's executive committee approved the final plan for the site. According to this project, the park was territorially reduced by half, and according to the plan it began to have an area of only ninety hectares. The plan, conceived according to the approved project, took on real forms in the next four years. The long-awaited opening of the park marked the beginning of 1978. Then (only in 1981) Chuvashgrazhdanproekt proposed a well-developed project for the construction of this landmark. Park 500 anniversary (Cheboksary) was supposed to be divided into thematic zones: entrance, cultural and exhibition area for children, sports and recreation, for attractions, as well as for the corner of ethnography.
All this time the park of 500 anniversary (Cheboksary)belonged to another, large and oldest Cheboksary park Lakreevsky forest. His story of appearance is no less interesting. And since for 19 years the park of the 500th anniversary was under Lakarevsky start, the mention of it will be quite appropriate.
In 1957, the park "Lakreevsky Forest" was created on thethe basis of this natural oak grove, but it was called differently - the City Park named after Sorocaia in October. However very soon it began to be called as it used to be, just - Lakreevsky forest. The fact is that earlier (in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries), in place of the modern forest, a vast oak grove was far stretched. All these possessions belonged to one landowner - Fedor Andreevich Lakreev-Panov. That's where the name came from. In the future, from this rich oak-tree remained only a small array, on the basis of which the same park appeared.
Park 500 anniversary (Cheboksary) was under the "Lakarevsky" beginning until 1987, after which he switched to independent maintenance.
In the park in honor of the 80th anniversary of the authoritiesThe authorities of Cheboksary in 2004 formed the Alley of Generations. She was planted with twenty trees. This place is recognized as significant in Cheboksary. Planting of these trees in 2004 introduced the tradition of transmitting information about each tree from one generation to the next, since each tree is named (in honor of those who were planting).
In 2005, the park was located (moved fromanother place) wooden sculpture "The Road to Moscow". This monument is dedicated to the entry of the Chuvash and mountain Mari in good faith into Russia in 1551.
In the park in 2008, an unusualarchitectural composition with meaning. This is the "Rose of the World". It is dedicated to the unity of peoples and cultures. This is a huge monument, at the bottom of which, at the base, is an octahedron with carved out sayings about peace, love, good and friendship. In the center of the monument are depicted female figures, they bring to the sky a cup in the form of a beautiful flower, the petals of which embody multiple denominations, there are more than a dozen in Chuvashia, according to official data.
In the park there are now 13 attractions.It should be noted that the amusement program was designed well enough for its visitors and visitors to the 500th anniversary park (Cheboksary).
