Quite a lot in this city and landscaped green recreation areas. Komsomol Park Tula is one of them. What is the history of this urban oasis and what is it attractive today?
Historical reference
In mid-January 1907, the Tula City Duma approved the proposal of the head of the city to establish a second city park in Tula. For a new green recreation area, a place was chosen on the urban outskirts. The park was divided into 7 dessiatines of land, on the one hand it was limited to military depots, on the other - the village of Kurulovka, and from the third - the highway. The urban oasis was created with the help of local patrons, a considerable part of the money was contributed by the merchant M. A. Salishchev, who lived in the same area. The planning of the park and the planting of trees involved well-known doctors: AA Alexandrov, FS Arkhangelsky and land surveyor MD Krishnevsky. Today, not all Tula people know that the Tula Komsomol Park was originally called Aleksandrovsky Park. Its modern name, he received only in 1923. It was then that the city's Komsomol members took care of the park. Recreation zone periodically improved, new trees were planted and flower beds were broken. In the 90 years of the last century, like many other municipal facilities, the Tula Komsomol Park was left without due attention. Its territory was not regularly cleaned, entertainment attractions and cafes stopped operating for a while. The government was concerned with the fate of one of the city's oldest recreation areas only in the early 2000s. It took about ten years to completely reconstruct the park territories. Today, the Komsomolsky Park is one of the favorite vacation spots for Tula residents.
