Recreation park projects in Lviv
With the annexation of western Ukraine in the Soviet Union, the new government set the task of "transforming the current environment of the city of Lviv into a Soviet form." One of the hallmarks of Lviv's "Socialism" was the absence of a Soviet-style work and leisure park. An example of these gardens was the garden of culture and entertainment for them. M. Gorky in Moscow.
In 1940, after a long discussion in Lviv, a decision was made to locate an amusement park in Pogulanka Park. An area of 100 hectares was planned for the park. The park envisioned setting up a music pool, dance floor, small-caliber weapons shooting range for 50 shooting locations, a 5,000-seat summer theater, a 100-seat restaurant and numerous fountains. The project was not implemented due to the start of the Soviet-German War in 1941-1945.
The master plan for the film Post-War Reconstruction of Lviv (1946) envisioned the creation of a cultural park in Pogulianka, but architects Heinrich Shevtsky-Vinnytsky and Stanislav Sokolov prepared the proposal to create a cultural park at the current location - between Stryi Street and then Dnjetsky Street.
Under this proposal, a 25-hectare Baroque garden is planned.
