The Fisherman's Garden at the Admiralteiskaya Sloboda in Kazan will be improved in a retro look

Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, got acquainted with an improvement project of one of the oldest parks in the city – the Fisherman's Garden at the Admiralteiskaya Sloboda. Daria Tolovenkova, deputy chief architect, conducted a tour of the park.

According to the deputy chief architect Daria Tolovenkova, the idea to improve the garden came up two years ago, when a new generation library was opened nearby the park, on Klara Zetkin street, 11. “After this, we wanted the transformation of the Admiralteiskaya Sloboda to continue– this site required special attention,”- said Daria Tolovenkova.

The garden will be improved in a retro look. According to the idea of the architects, the public space should take visitors back to the 70s and 80s of the XIX century. The concept was also supported by local residents at public hearings that took place this winter. The main focus will be on the central element of the park – the figure of a fisherman will be restored on the fountain.

The improvement of the site will be carried out in several stages. In the first stage, all major utilities will be installed, asphalt to be replaced, comfortable pedestrian paths will be made, new functional playground will be equipped. On the territory of the garden, it is planned to make a zone for different activities.

In the second stage, it is planned to develop convenient pedestrian connections and sidewalks along the roadways, as well as organize a food court.

It is planned to start improving the park next year.
