The mayor of Yekaterinburg was shown how the park that residents voted for is being improved.
On Wednesday, November 19, Yekaterinburg’s head Alexey Orlov visited the 50th Anniversary of the VLKSM Park ("Dog Park") to see how the improvement of the site that won the vote under the federal project "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment" is progressing.
The park emerged as the leader in the vote under the federal project "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment" of the national project "Infrastructure for Life." In 2024, more than 100,000 residents voted for its improvement, the city administration disclosed the results of the municipal "plebiscite."
The fifteen hectares of green space and the water feature had long been in need of improvement, the mayor’s office acknowledged.
Work is being carried out in three stages. The laying of park paths along Chkalov Street has already been completed, lighting and video surveillance systems have been installed, a dog-walking area, three children’s play areas and outdoor workout areas have been arranged. Almost 400 trees and the same number of shrubs have been planted.
In winter, work will continue in another part of the park. "As soon as stable frosts set in, the contractor will begin clearing the water feature," the city administration said in a statement.
The third stage will involve improving the park on the side facing Yasnaya and Shaumyana streets. In this part of the park, two children’s playgrounds and recreation areas are planned.
"Everything that residents asked to be done first and that was agreed on in the project has been completed," Alexey Orlov said as he summarized his inspection of the site.
