Great Patriotic War and made several joint commemorative photos.
In honor of
the opening of the park two musical ensembles - jazz band "Fantasy"
and the ensemble of guitar players - pupils of music school №3 named after R.M.Yakhin
played.
The total
area of the Kirov garden is 1 hectare. The green zone is located in the
central part of Kazan and is a monument of landscape architecture. Its location
historically formed on the site of the Hay market. In the central part of the
garden a bowl of the fountain with sculptural composition "Labor will be
the lord of the world" is located, made by famous sculptor Sadri Akhunov
in 1935. The idea of creating a sculpture is the glorification of labor
across the globe.
Today, the
appearance of the park is completely changed - fountain was rebuilt, sculpture
was renovated, new track from pavers were laid, lighting poles were replaced,
park benches and fences around the perimeter of the garden with elements of
cast iron were replaced. Also throughout the park lawn was laid, a large flower
garden and new trees and shrubs were planted. Elements of accessible
environment for people of low mobility, Wi-Fi systems and video surveillance
cameras were organized in the Kirov garden. It is also planned to install a
playground and plant new trees this season.
