This is a beautiful park in Donetsk. We love to take walks here. There are these beautiful stone sculptures going down the center of it. The walk is about half a mile long. There are beautiful flower beds and water fountains all the way down the walk. There are also a few play areas for children. It is a fun place to come and just sit and watch the people. Everyone is so much more relaxed as they stroll through the park.

This was a beautiful floral arrangement shaped like a ribbon. The sign I am standing by looked like it had a breast cancer logo.
More stone scultures. Notice the rosebud at the top.
In the summer months the parks are filled with brides having their pictures taken.

These pictures are large photos hanging like billboards in a park. They have different scenes from Ukraine. I just posted a few. I think this is a picture of Government Officials because the man in the middle is the Mayor ( I think). The one below is a line of brides and grooms. I'm not sure what they are doing. The last picture is the new soccer stadium they are building.

I wanted you to see the beautiful transformation we have experienced in Donetsk before it gets too hot and the beautiful flowers begging to die. We have really enjoyed going for walks. There is a nice park that has beautiful stone sculptures in the center of the walkway. It is filled with beautiful flower gardens. It is fun to go and sit at night and just watch the people stroll by.On the weekends you can always find beautiful brides coming to have their pictures taken in the park.
The pictures below are Elder Kinghorn at a part of the park that has these nice posters that show scenes of Ukraine. For the first few months of summer they were pictures of Slavajorsk. Now there is a picture of the new soccer stadium that is being built, a photo of brides and grooms, and one that looks like government officials. I have only included a few. I also included one more picture of the Kalinsky building. It is the new church building where Sunday services will be held.
