City Garden

Odesa, Deribasivska

About this place

In the very center of Odesa stands the oldest public park — City Garden (Lassalle, Deribas). Its founder was the brother of Odesa’s founder — F. De Ribas. He planted it with acacias and other species of trees. However, because of the lack of funds needed to care for the garden, the owner gave it to the city in 1806.

The modern City Garden of Odesa is one of the popular places for relaxation. It has everything needed to spend a good time. There is a huge number of interesting monuments here that have become symbols of Odesa: Leonid Utyosov on a bench, the “Twelve Chairs” monument, a monument in the form of a family of lions (brought to Odesa in the 19th century) and a monument to S. Utoshkin.

Walks through the garden are accompanied by melodies that often sound from the covered performance stage. Every evening, there is also a real light and music show performed by the fountain.
