EN FR RU UA

Located in Ukraine.

Landscape Alley is a recreation area in Kiev, created on the site of the rampaged defense shafts of the Upper City, which were on top of a raging above the Potters tract. In fact, this is a path (car-pedestrian), which repeats the route of the shaft and the objects of landscape design around (curbs, park sculpture, playgrounds, flower beds, etc.). It originates from the observation deck near the National Museum of History of Ukraine and ends between buildings No. 36 and 40 along Bolshaya Zhytomyr Street. The alley was built in the early 1980s by the project of the architect Abraham Miletsky.

The purpose of the alley is to create an opportunity for tourists to see the heights of the Podol and the Dnieper from the height of the historic Upper Town.

In 2009, a children’s park with benches and majestic cats was set up on the Landscape Alley. There are fountains in the form of an elephant, zebras heads, a 30-meter centipede cat, benches in the shape of a rabbit, a crow, a cat lined with mosaics. Improvement of the park, in the place of which was previously a wasteland, was done by the famous city sculptor Konstantin Skretutsky.
