I went to the South Culture Park right after the Olympic Park, there is not far. Wonderful place to be in nature and a little break from the city bustle. If I moved to live in Sochi, then I settled somewhere in the area, ideal location: park with trees, uncrowded beach, Olympic facilities (there you can on a bicycle and roller skate ride), the road to Krasnaya Polyana. Okay, I’ll tell you about the park itself.

Park Southern Cultures
Impressions
This park is part of the Sochi Arboretum. At a glance man in the street, there are much fewer strange plants, so I would regarded it simply as a good park. Especially very few plates with the names of plants, and the price allows you to come here often as in a regular park. The territory occupies 11 hectares, bypass them slowly you can for an hour, or even less, if you do not walk in circles.
Only two levels, upper and lower, I came from the top (he small) and thought it was the whole park, but it turned out that the main the part is the bottom. Only now there work is going on, so part of the tracks is not comfortable for baby strollers because of neukatannoy rubble, there are open wells, there are workers, not everywhere you can go. In October 2015, I was told that they had to new year finish. The park promises to be even more cute, than there is now, look at the photo.
