Gagarin Park in the Kommunarsky district may receive a new name as part of decommunization.
About this it says in the draft decision Zaporozhye City Council.
Proposed the new name is Twin Cities Park.
As noted in the explanatory note, this park is one of the largest in Zaporozhye – its area is almost 11 hectares.
There are children’s playgrounds, public service establishments, a place for holding public events with a stage, gazebos, etc.
If a decision is made to rename the park, it is planned to develop separate zones dedicated to the sister cities of Zaporozhye, with which the city actively cooperates in the municipal, cultural and humanitarian spheres.
