The new park in
the Salavat Kupere residential area will open by the end of summer – recently
work on the second stage of landscaping has been launched there. The progress
of construction works was inspected by the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin.
In the Salavat
Kupere residential area on Nail Yusupov Street on an area of 3.5 hectares,
second stage of development of the new park has begun.
“This year we
will complete the work on the creation of a new city park on a land plot of 6
hectares. The builders will have to develop key objects: to improve the lake,
create an amphitheater, build sports and recreation areas. The necessary
equipment and materials are available, works are carried out in accordance with
a schedule. The park in Salavat Kupere is a complicated but interesting site.
We will improve the recreation area for 22 thousand residents of this neighborhood”,
- said Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan.
The first stage
of the park was completed last year. Utility networks were laid on the
territory of the park, lighting poles, automatic irrigation systems, video
cameras, a modular lavatory were installed, pedestrian sidewalks were equipped,
the territory was prepared for children's, sports and extreme playgrounds.
The architect of
the project Karina Davletyarova (ZARF Architectural bureau) told the head of
the city that old trees are being preserved in the park and new ones are being
planted. “Despite the fact that there are many green areas around Salavat
Kupere, including Lake Lebyazhye, it is important that there are many green
spaces nearby, including coniferous trees”, - Ilsur Metshin noted.
At the request
of the residents, the architects enlarged the parade area, one of the three
zones of the park. “It will be possible to celebrate holidays and organize
events in a cultural center with an amphitheater, and street musical
instruments will be placed on the square”, - Karina Davletyarova noted.
A recreation
area is organized around the lake, which was decided to preserve when creating
the park. There will be an amphitheater, which will serve as an observation
deck. In addition, there will be a pier at the lake.
There will also
be an area for board games, including ping-pong. A dry fountain will become a
favorite entertainment for children. Those who wish will be able to watch birds
in a specially designated area with stationary birdhouses. Following the
example of the Gorkinsko-Ometyevsky forest, the residents of Salavat Kupere
will have their own public garden – with beds and greenhouses. In addition, as
part of the second stage of work, it is planned to equip barbeque areas with
tables and canopies.
The park in the Salavat
Kupere residential area will become the second public space in Russia where
special play equipment for dogs will be installed. At the same time, dog
handlers and their pets will not interfere with other visitors to the park – a
spacious dog walking area of more than 700 sq. meters with a separate entrance
will be located in a lowland, fenced with trees.
“Concrete works at
the amphitheater with an area of 920 sq.m have been completed by 80%, after
that we will start front and decoration works”, - Andrey Zakamsky, director of
the Etalon construction company, told the Mayor of the city.
Works will
continue in the recreation area. A game maze, a sandbox, a shade canopy,
trampolines, swings and a bungee will be installed on the playground. A workout
equipment and wall bars will be delivered to the sports ground and a streetball
ground will be equipped.
It is planned to
complete all work in the park by the end of summer.
