post-war period the area of this park, founded
as early as 1923, increased from 12 up to
90 ha. It was connected with creation of
big sports center, including republican
stadium, built in 1951 in the park. Being
the republican and city center of physical
training and sports, the concerned park
fulfils at the same time functions of Regional
Park of culture and recreation. Therefore,
the population living in closely-located
town districts uses it actively.
