Peculiarity: According to vacationers, the water is very clean, but you are always under the scorching sun, because there are few trees around the pond. Advice - take an umbrella, because in the beach area there are not enough umbrellas for everyone.
It is interesting: in 2018, Victory Park, of which the Big City Pond is a part, will be completely reconstructed. The southern and eastern shores of the pond will be made more modern and convenient for sunbathers and bathers, a pontoon area with a dance floor and a boat station will be built, sports towns will be added and the general infrastructure with changing rooms, benches, umbrellas, cafes and restaurants will be improved.
Sunbathe, but not swim
And here you can lie on the sand and get a pleasant olive tan. Previously wild beaches landscaped and converted into comfortable recreation areas with fishing and barbecue areas, outdoor exercise equipment, showers and changing cabins, sun loungers, playgrounds and benches. The only negative is that swimming is prohibited:
