used to create the Lviv Children's Railway. In 1952, the main entrance to the park was decorated with a light arch of the Corinthian order designed by Soviet architect Heinrich Shvetsky-Vinetsky. During the Soviet period, the park area was enlarged due to wastelands and unused areas, a cast-iron fence was installed, and new species of trees and shrubs were planted. In 2008, the first skatepark in Ukraine was opened in the upper part of Stryiskiy Park. In 2009, a monument to Jan Kilinski was restored with funds provided by the Government of the Republic of Poland. Reconstruction of the park has been going on since 2009, in particular, external lighting is being restored, paths are being bridged. In June 2011, the restoration of the "Ivasyk-Telesyk" fountain was completed. UAH 2.4 million has been allocated from the city budget for these needs. However, within a month the bowl of the fountain cracked. In the summer of 2013 it was restored after the reconstruction of the fountain. Current state The park covers more than 52 hectares.
