Sakura in Sochi
In April, “Sakura” blooms here, which in fact does not sakura, but sweet cherry. It seems to be relatives with cherry, but blooms sweet cherry is completely different, and the trees look not so the same way. But be that as it may, when I searched on the Internet some beautiful garden or park for photo walking, then came across it is on Co-operative Square and its “blossoming cherry tree about seaport. “It is clear that this is a brighter headline for news than blooming cherry, all the same media, they are such media. Having figured out by arrival that I was cruelly deceived, I still walked around square and, oddly enough, was impressed, inspired and touched
Cooperative Square in Sochi
Beautiful Square
A place of surprisingly cozy atmosphere, which disposes to a quiet hanging out with your family and a modest one-person picnic sandwich and bag of juice. There are many children here, moms walk with them in all corners of the garden, they roll the strollers and simply release the babies on the grass.
The combination of bright green, rich southern colors, blooming from all sides of the violence and children so mimish that it is impossible to remain indifferent, being in the center of all this magnificence. The square is of a very modest size, but Koteluevsky is still nearby and the seaport’s pedestrian area, so there’s no cramping and people do not crowd, do not interfere with each other.
Closer to the port there is a separate territory of a public garden, in which exhibited sculptures famous Sochi sculptor Akop Khalafyan By the gorny, the hammer and the anvil this master creates amazingly good things that fit perfectly into the city the exterior, and the people accepted and fell in love with the author’s works: they can to meet not only here, but throughout Sochi.
In the Cooperative Square is his composition “Sea Walk”, from which in my photos you can see only the king-fish and the sea princess, who slide on the sea on a sea horse. They say (but I myself do not noticed) that from the wind the bells start to ring sculptural composition, and in strong winds even distinguishable movement of metal waves under the ridge.
History reference
In the 70s on the site of the square was located an array of old historic city building. However under pressure circumstances and in connection with the development of Sochi as an international resort city, it was decided to completely clear building the entire area in front of the seaport, which was executed finally in the 80s. In 2013, the owners of the park tried to remake it into something stone-arched with fountains and tiled paths, but the Sochi residents rebelled and did not give to fuck up a wonderful place in which they supported the city administration.
Information to visit
Admission is free, parking is paid, but as a rule places at peak hours there is no.
How to get there
If you know where the Sea Port in Sochi is, then find a square is not will work. By car? Well, I would not. Even in the early hours in this place is difficult to find even paid parking. But if you need just disembarking passengers, then leave Kurortny Prospect (with Adler’s side) to Poyarko Street, and once more to the left – to Nessebar. After 100 meters there will be a Cooperative Square.
Pedestrians get here easier. From the Marine Station need to go Nessebar street and you will find yourself in the park. Nearest bus stops here: 15, 36, 101, 114 and 115. For three stops, and all are called “Marine Station”. And they are all located on the edge Cooperative Square.
