Historical excursion
The history of the “Sunny Island” park (Krasnodar) begins in the summer of 1876, when the widow of one of the Kuban writers - Marfa Golovataya - became the owner of the land by the river. At the beginning of the XX century, he became the property of a local merchant named Rokkel, who began to get involved in tree breeding. Subsequently, he built several wooden bridges to connect the island with the coast, plowed the chernozem and turned his brainchild into a first-class economy. Officially, this place was assigned the status of a park zone only in the late autumn of 1959.
