Riviera Park

A cozy green space right in the city center. The park was founded in the late 19th century by entrepreneur Vasily Khludov, who collected a large collection of exotic and coniferous plants and then donated it to the city. Now, there is a Green Theater, a decorative pond shaped like the Black Sea, a mineral water pump room, rose gardens, an oceanarium, a dolphinarium, and children's rides. The garden is beautiful all year round. Most of the plants are evergreen, and some bloom only in winter.
