Seaside park, magnificent embankment, unique palaces and castles, sanatoriums and boarding houses - all this attracts thousands of tourists to this fertile land. Today we want to tell you about the most popular park in the city, where not only the guests of the South Coast, but also the townspeople like to spend time.
Y alta, Seaside Park: history of creation
After the end of the Second World War, the restoration of the beautiful Y alta and its green spaces became the most important area of work for many of the country's governing bodies. Newspapers increasingly published reports about the restoration of public gardens and parks in the Crimea. The main burden fell on the shoulders of the workers of the city's landscaping enterprises - it was necessary to decorate the all-Union resort as soon as possible.
For this, the Y alta planting trust at the end of 1946 received 1,200,000 rubles. This made it possible to include in the plan for the restoration of the city the construction of a new park on the site of the massif near the Zheltyshevsky beach. On the need for a general resort cityPark in Y alta was spoken even before the war. The decision to build it was made by the local authorities in February 1947. It was planned that the official opening of the facility would take place on May 1, 1947, so the residents of the city, students and schoolchildren, workers and engineers, also actively worked on the preparatory work.
Park layout
The architectural design of the object was determined by the terrace device. It was planned to install a fountain on the upper terrace and arrange shady areas in different parts of the park. The project also included the installation of the Soyuzpechat pavilion and kiosks with refreshing drinks. At that time, Primorsky Park (Y alta) began from the Oreanda Hotel, from the Livadia Bridge, and not from the obelisk.
The current embankment in 1950 was the very first walking alley of the park. All the paths were covered with sand during construction, no asph alt was used.
Sculptural compositions
The first sculpture appeared in the park in 1950. She became the "Girl with the core." Interestingly, history has not preserved the names of the authors of this composition. The first sculpture was followed by others - "Girl with a ball", "Athlete with a towel", "Playing children".
On the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the death of A. P. Chekhov, Primorsky Park (Y alta) received a valuable gift. The competition announced in 1947 for the creation of a monument to the writer was won by the sculptor G. I. Motovilov. The monument was opened in 1953. The solemn event was attended by the sister of Anton Pavlovich Maria Pavlovna, O. L. Knipper-Chekhova, artists of the Moscow Art Theater.
Vegetation
Palm alley popular today was founded in 1952. At that time, it consisted of 100 specimens of ten-year-old trachycarpus. In addition to palm trees, more than 3,000 trees were planted - plane trees and cedars, plums and pines, etc. The plants were imported from the nurseries of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. Old postcards show that during the construction of the obelisk, old trees were preserved as much as possible, and the terraces were planted with roses. Already in 1954, more than 8,000 bushes were planted in the park. Preference was given to varieties bred by N. Kostecki Ukrainka, Rodina, French roses Lyon, La France, Marechal Niel, Belle de Nikita.
Nursery
Y alta gradually recovered after the war and became prettier. Since 1955, Primorsky Park has become not only the main resort park, but also the main nursery of Kurortzelenstroy. Efficient work to decorate the territory of the mentioned cultural object allowed the staff of this planting organization to win the right to become a participant in the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition held in Moscow.
Thirty-four employees became participants in VDNKh. In the early spring of 1955, perennial pines, magnolias, cedars, as well as standard roses and evergreen shrubs were sent to the capital. At the end of the year, most of them were awarded medals of VDNKh participants.
After the completion of the design of the lower section, another entrance to the park (the third one) was opened from the side of Livadia. Here wasdeer sculpture installed. Why a deer? There is no answer to this question. Probably, according to the creators, the sculpture was supposed to remind of the Foros Park, where such statues were found.
In 1974, a rose garden was laid out in the western, lower part of the Seaside Park. Twelve thousand bushes were planted according to the project of N. I. Verevochkina. In order for the rose garden to bloom continuously from May to December, certain varieties of roses were selected - late, medium and early flowering periods. The following year, the garden dazzled with its splendor, but, unfortunately, this triumph was the only one. In winter, more than half of the bushes were stolen, and other flower beds were planted in this place.

Primorsky Park (Y alta), according to most local residents, is the most beautiful in the city. From the side of the Sevastopol highway, the entrance to it is a majestic arch-colonnade with observation platforms and ladders. From here you can go down to the central alleys of the resting place. The railings of the stairs are decorated with flowerpots, and majestic oriental plane trees are planted along the length of seven flights.
In the center of the park, at its highest point, there is an observation deck, decorated with an original-shaped pool. With its outlines, it resembles the contour of the Black Sea.

A monument to Maxim Gorky was erected on the central alley in 1956.
