History

The 20th century, the park fell into decay: they did not look after the lawns and flower beds, they did not cut trees and bushes, they did not remove the damage from the wind, rain, and hooligans, and they did not remove garbage. Positive trends emerged in the mid-2000s, when they suddenly drew attention to PC&O: the territory was removed, the green spaces were ennobled, the flowerbeds were revived.
