Another culture and recreation park may appear in Yekaterinburg.

      The Sverdlovsk Ministry of Culture has approved recommendations for the provision of cultural institutions in populated areas, from small rural communities to the largest ones with populations over one million. These recommendations are based on the directive from the federal Ministry of Culture.

      Thus, Yekaterinburg should have at least 4 theaters and 13 museums, as well as a circus and a zoo. According to the document, there should be two such state or municipal institutions in the Ural capital. Currently, there is only one - the Yekaterinburg Central Park of Culture and Recreation named after Mayakovsky. Although it has two venues - the main one and the reconstructed park in Uralmash.

      The director of the Central Park of Culture and Recreation, Pavel Zubakin, told the publication "Signal Ural" that the necessity of having another institution is a contentious claim. According to the definition from the set of rules for urban planning and landscaping, such parks should include areas for various types of activities, and cultural mass events should also be held there.

      — New venues are 100% needed. We have many newly landscaped areas that are operated in a "basic minimum" format - without security, without events. For example, Zelenaya Rosha and Pavlik Morozov Park. And there are those that need to be put in order, such as Osnovinsky or Southern, Zubakin told the media.

      It was previously reported that an updated General Plan taking into account the KRT will be developed in Yekaterinburg.
