    A oasis in the center of Kiev. A piece of peace and serenity. Walk, watch, buy some icecream. Hang out in a small coffee or get a bite to eat or just hang and absorb the local culture, the people and their idiosyncrasies. If the sun is shining, double bonus time. One of the best parks Kiev has to offer. However check out the almost uninterrupted approx. 8 km of park with incredible views, glass bridges, freedom arches, etc. Kiev shows off. Pretty cool and healthy after you walked it all.

    Nice and cozy Park in the center of the city. It is situated near the main university of Ukraine - Taras Shevchenko University. In the middle of the park you can find the monument of Ukrainian Writer Taras Shevchenko. Around the Park there are several museums, mainly galleries.

    Very nice park in the heart of the city. There is a large playground with climbers and swings for the kids. Our children enjoyed taking a tour around the fountain on electric go karts and the pony rides on the weekend! The park has coffee kiosks, a few restaurants that are very family friendly. Close to the university, the center of the park culminates in a huge statue of Shevchenko that is quite impressive and well maintained! Great park if you're in the city with kids😀

    Pleasant park next to the university building. Quite central and very nice for a quick break off the office. It is small but pleasant. There's a coffee shop and a small restaurant. It is great playground for many kids especially in the weekend. Few benches, could have been more as people tend to stay and sit, but many prefer to rest under trees shadow.

    Beautiful park in the center of the city... Good place to spend 3-4 hours... nice ambience, great greenery, landscaping and flower decorations... There are many coffee and snacks counters along its boundary... and ... one restaurant inside the premises... Parking of vehicles is a problem and needs some advance planning... Avoid weekends and evenings... Recommended for visit atleast once...

    Beautiful park, an Oasis in the City. There’s loads going on here, clearly a local public hub. Locals come to chill or play Chess. There is a cool Cafe in an old Tram. Seating dotted about to sit and people watch. Good place to come and wind down prior to an evening of trendy cocktail bars and restaurants that are beckoning in the City Centre.

    It`s place as many other in our live. But with one exception. It was time where you could feel real living style of one country in reality and how town shows all fascinate and famous ordinary style. I recomed at least once you go and see what else you can find by your wish and exception.

  • 4/5 Ankit P. 3 years ago on Google
    The park at the upper end of Monastyrsky Island merits another entry because of how much is squeezed into such a small space. One of the first things you’ll see is a Ferris wheel and a kitsch Soviet-style amusement park aimed at the smallest members of the family. Turn left after the bridge and you’ll be at a statue of Taras Shevchenko. This 19th-century poet is considered a Ukrainian Shakespeare for his lasting impact on the Ukrainian language. And lastly, on the city side of the park is a dramatic man-made waterfall, built under the cross. According to legend St Andrew stopped at this very place during his voyage along the Dnieper in the 1st century.

  • 5/5 Oleksandr P. 6 years ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Great park right in the middle of the city! There are a lot of interestingly looking benches, intricate walking paths and amenities. One should definitely try coffee in the old tram, which is now a coffee shop. There is also a blini window, good for a snack on the go. Coffee stands are all around the park, so be sure to grab one before settling on the grass with your friends. Often there are street musicians and dance evenings, which are building quite a romantic atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Qurratul Y. 4 years ago on Google • 23 reviews

  • 5/5 Jens H. D. 3 years ago on Google
    i love to record videos and livestreams here. and it is a place for perfect people watching. and for meetings. just sit down, have a drink from one of the little booths and enjoy. it is not quiet, as streets are to close from all sides. it is more a citypark, a meeting area with trees and bushes. you want to understand how complex it is to take the perfect selfie with flowers? here you get the full tour ;] 1m times a day. many friendly smiling ppl.
