This is amazyng place, close to Teteriv river. A suggest to take a walk across the bridge over Teteriv and a take a walk in the forest. The atmosphere is beautiful, birds, nature. To sit on karusel cost 10 grivnya. I suggest to try the "Zhitomir eye" all the city will be on your hand. I was grew up here<3

“My trip to the park with my girlfriend.”

Oct 2016

This has quite a bit of history from around the 1980s or 1990s with a big ferris wheel in the centre of the park and a lovely bridge which I'm not holding hands with my girlfriend walking over the river below and watching all the autumn leaves. In the tree below us it is one of the highest bridges in this region of Ukraine. So far this is one of my favourite places in the city it is near all the universities and there is quite a lot of nature here. I can see they tried to keep this park as natural and clean as it can I would say this is perfect for a romantic walk with your partner or a family day out if you're staying at one of the nearby hotels or apartment complexes. I enjoyed most of all being able to stop on the bridge and look over the edge while hugging my girlfriend and her telling me some of the local history and stories about this park.

Nice place in nice weather

Oct 2014 • Business

This park is where pretty much everyone in town goes when the weather is really good. Although the park-length fountain no longer works, the trees are beautiful in Fall. At the river end of the park, there is a footbridge across the Teterev River. I wouldn't walk across it, but it's quite a view even if you just go out part way. Some really nice scenery around there.

A beautiful park

Oct 2014 • Family

Very relaxing and a bit of everything. There are a few rides for children as well. This is a must see on a sunny, Sunday afternoon.

Peaceful and beautiful place

Sep 2014 • Friends

I was lucky to visit the park during Indian summer with fall foliage, great weather and probably the last few days that fountains were working. The view from the bridge was breathtaking.

Awesome place

Aug 2016 • Family

This park is historical and it's likely place for enhabitance. It was created by Maksimilian Shoduar in 19 - early 20 century. Many kind of trees are from around the world were delivered here by the order of baron Shoduar. One of the highest in Ukraine bridge cross the River Teteriv in the park. There is a covered scene here, where many city concerts hold. Children acuiped area is in the center on the park, it's likely place for families with young visitors. There are many banches there, and you can have a rest in the shadow of ancient trees. Three boulevards with founains led to the park. Picturesque places are there.

Good park

May 2016 • Solo

Good place, but attractions never work :( Also they never have big concerts or festivals. I don't know why. Rakushka (conch) is good place for concerts. Also its dirty place, doesn't look good. Last time I was there I met only few people... I have never met tourists from another cities or countries. But it still a peaceful place :) Bridge looks bad, but its so romantic place )
