Taras Shevchenko Central Park of Culture and Recreation
The park was founded in 1830 on the model of Viennese parks thanks to the efforts of district engineer Adolf Marin and city architect Andreas Mikulich on the site of a natural forest by replacing some wild trees with ornamental crops of shrubs and other plantations. Thanks to engineer Adolf Marin, 35,000 bushes and trees were planted here. Originally it was called the "People's Garden". It was planted with unique rare species of trees imported from Europe. For example, in addition to oak and beech, American maple, Amur velvet, oriental, black pine, Caucasian fir, etc. were planted here. A real natural masterpiece here is the Canadian hemlock (there are several such trees in the region), tulip tree, the only weeping beech in Bukovyna, as well as yew, red oak, magnolia Kobus, Ginkgo Biloba and a number of other valuable species ...
