In Omsk there are many park areas, both old and recently opened. Among the oldest parks in Omsk, the most famous are: the park named after the 30th anniversary of the Komsomol and Victory Park.
Bow to those great years
The latter is located on the left bank of the Irtysh River and occupies a huge space, including a complex of monuments dedicated to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, and a huge area occupied by forest.
As for the civilized part of the park, which is reserved for the memorial complex, it is worth saying that it was opened more than 40 years ago, on the 30th anniversary of the Great Victory.
The center of this ensemble of monuments is a statue of the Victorious Warrior, who raises a sword above himself, symbolizing the long-awaited end of the war.
Winter fairy tale park
Another green zone of Omsk can be called the Soviet Park, which is located in the Town of Oil Workers, near the Polytechnic University. The main avenue of the park leads to the descent to the local beach. It is made in the form of a multi-stage staircase. In this corner of nature, you can also find attractions traditional for Omsk parks, such as the Ferris Wheel, the Whirlwind, and so on. This complex becomes especially picturesque in winter, when an ice fort breaks up here, as a rule, which is a smaller model of the Kremlin with several ice slides.
Green corners of Omsk
If you are a big lover of outdoor recreation, then of course you should visit the Bird Harbor nature reserve, which includes three lakes connected by a canal.
In this area there are several species of wild birds, whose life can be observed while strolling near water bodies. As for swimming, it is prohibited in Bird Harbor. But if you leave this reserve and cross the roadway along a rather convenient passage that does not contain any stairs and flows directly from the walking path, you can find yourself in Victory Park. This is the most patriotic of Omsk parks already mentioned in the article. Here in the warm season you can sunbathe and enjoy the crystal clear water of the pits.
Of great interest is the green zone, named after the 30th anniversary of the Komsomol in Omsk. The park was once called the New Country Grove.
It was built around a local lake, which has a circular shape. Another interesting place to stay in the city of Omsk is a park called "Green Island". It is located near the same highway as Sovetsky Park, only a few stops earlier. Therefore, these two places are somewhat similar to each other. It also has its own beach and several attractions, which will be happy for both adults and children. Also in this park there is a stage where various concert events are held both by local artists and stars of the national scale.
Among other large green areas of the city, the park on Koroleva in Omsk rightfully occupies a special place. It is not permanent and is usually closed to visitors. But several times during the summer, the institution opens its doors to a large number of people.
A brass band plays in the city garden
This happens during major events such as the so-called parks: a symphony park, a jazz park and a symphonic rock park. At these open-air festivals from 10:00 to 22:00 you can enjoy great music in live performance. In addition to Omsk groups, musicians from other cities often perform at these events. For example, at the jazz park, which took place this summer, the famous jazz pianist Daniil Kramer presented his concert program . The symphonic rock park, which took place on September 1, 2017, did not attract as many spectators as previous festivals on Korolev. This circumstance is explained by the fact that the event was held on a weekday, and besides, the festival date coincided with the Day of Knowledge.
Green Island and Bird Harbor will be interesting for lovers of long walks in nature, and Omsk Victory Park is a great place to study the history of the war years, as well as an ideal choice for beach lovers. Omsk parks are the pride of a big city.
