Then it was a continuous thicket of pines and firs that had been growing there for a long time, and Krasnoyarsk was not there at that time.
In the 19th century, the park received new development under the close supervision of local governors, who constantly made additions to it. In 1934, it was named and was divided into several parts. In this form, Gorky Park in Krasnoyarsk exists today.

Reviews
The main plus of Gorky Park, according to many, is its location in the city center. The place beloved by the townspeople occupies a vast territory, divided by a central alley. A lot of fountains and greenery. The areas are equipped with benches and urns. Despite the large flow of people, the territory is always clean and comfortable.
Along the alleys are shopping stalls with various goodies. On the territory there are summer cafes. Prices do not differ much from city prices.
According to visitors' reviews, the most popular attractions are: Ferris Wheel, Roller Coaster, circuit, Fear Room. A lot of good entertainment for children, but they are almost all alike.
Children really like to shoot at targets at the shooting range. Even in the case of misses, children receive prizes.
Among the shortcomings, visitors note somewhat overpriced prices for attractions. On average, their price is from 150 rubles.
But even if you do not ride on the carousels, you can have a wonderful time in the park absolutely for free, walking along the picturesque alleys or relaxing on a bench.
In winter, an ice rink works in Gorky Park. Attractions are not functioning at this time.
