About this place

Vinnytsia Central City Park is its pride and one of the most beloved places of recreation for Vinnytsia residents. This is not surprising, since the park has many interesting places that allow both adults and active children to spend time well.

The park was founded in 1936. Since then, it has become a real decoration of the city. Various art and gastrofestivals are held here constantly. Its central part is decorated by the oldest fountain, which shimmers in the sun with all the colors of the rainbow. The concert hall in the park is named after the rainbow, and creative performances are held there on holidays. The park is cozy and clean. Along the main alleys, monuments to prominent historical figures have been installed. Benches for rest are placed in the shade of the trees. For active recreation, a stadium and an ice rink have been arranged. The many attractions can satisfy the wishes of every child.
