Despite all the wonders of the technical process, man has always most safely and comfortably felt in the lap of nature. Especially strongly trees and grass are not enough among concrete walls and stone roads. Saves its residents from the urban cement bustle of Voronezh. Tanais Park is a favorite vacation spot for thousands of families.
From Asia to the USSR
The first garden compositions appeared in China. This art was adopted by the French in the 18th century, and after them - all of Europe. Very magnificent and rich parks were planted in front of their estates by Russian aristocrats.
With the advent of Soviet power, bourgeois squares were replaced by parks of culture and recreation. There, a citizen of the USSR could usefully spend his free time. Built green towns across the country.
Voronezh also has something to brag about. Tanais Park, whose first name is Sovetsky District Children's Square, appeared as part of the new district in 1973. Since then, it has become a popular destination with thousands of citizens.
Green corners
But here it is worth noting that the history of the parks of this city is significant. State Garden - the first official square, was founded at the initiative of the Emperor Peter the Great. In 1701, the king ordered to collect the best plants of Western Europe and plant them in Voronezh.
Almost 150 years later (1844), his descendant, Alexander II, issued a decree establishing a botanical garden on this territory. For a long time he held primacy in the field of breeding various plants. The complex was completely destroyed during the Great Patriotic War. The real miracle is that in the postwar years they managed to restore it from scratch.
These and a dozen more unusual squares can offer the city of Voronezh. Tanais Park is one of the three best places to relax. The range of entertainment that he provides is pleasantly amazing.
In the ranking of the best
The Soviet government tried to take care of the welfare of its citizens. In order for people to have fun and safely spend their days off, create gardens. They were based on the needs of the city.
Voronezh began to grow rapidly in the middle of the 20th century. If in the early 1930s the number of its inhabitants barely exceeded 150,000, then 50 years later the indicators were almost 750,000. Streets were laid, high-rise buildings were built, new areas were formed.
In April 1973, another district of the city was founded, which received the proud name "Soviet". He was immediately given the status of the greenest region among all the parts into which Voronezh is divided. Tanais Park played an important role in obtaining this title. He turned around on an area of more than 24 hectares.
From hand to hand
Financed the construction of local enterprises. For their funds, work was carried out on the landscape, rides were bought. Over the following years, the square was replaced by several owners. At first he was led by the Voronezh Mechanical Plant. But in difficult times of perestroika, the owner could not allocate funds for non-core occupation. In 1989, VMZ abandoned this facility.
Further, the youth contact center was connected to the work. His merits include a change of name. The modest Children's Square of the Sovetsky District turned into the lush park “Tanais” (Voronezh). Attractions by that time were very worn out and required major repairs. The company could not afford such expenses. After them, the object was in the hands of shareholders. Since 1994, the square has been in the hands of Tanais LLC.
Secret Name
A very interesting story is connected with the name. From 1973 until 1994, the park was called Detskiy. Renaming of streets, squares and squares was a mass phenomenon in post-Soviet society. The young and initiative Contact company also decided to follow the fashion trend and choose a new name for their offspring. They responded to this task very responsibly, so the choice fell on the word, which had a deep historical past connected with the city of Voronezh. Park "Tanais" bears the ancient name of Don, on which it is located. So the ancient Greeks christened the river.
In addition, this was the name in ancient mythology of a water deity who was the son of Ocean and Tethys. At one time, namely in the III century. BC e. - V century n e., in the delta of the Don was also located the city of Tanais. Today its ruins are protected by the state, it is an archaeologically important world object.
Main landmark
The zone is conditionally divided into a pedestrian alley into two parts. This road connects two streets - South Moravian and Oleko Dundic. Bus stops with these names lead directly to the garden and are the best guide for visitors to the city.
