— Before designing this park, we conducted a survey and cataloguing of green spaces. To ensure the safety of children who will play on this site, it is necessary to remove all overgrown old poplars, as the branches break and fall from the slightest wind, – says Associate Professor of the Department of Breeding and Gardening of the Institute of Forest Technologies of Siberian State University Tatiana Aksyanova. 

The construction of the park is only the first stage of work. In the future, next to this territory, it is planned to build a Centre for Physical Culture and Sports for the visitors in need to have the opportunity to enjoy courses in physical therapy and massage.
