The solemn event was timed to the celebration of the 224th anniversary of Odesa, the 2nd of September 2018.
To prevent landslides on the slope, the builders drove about 700 piles into the ground and installed a strong retaining wall.
The Greek park is divided into conditional three parts: an open-air art zone, a children’s entertainment and a pleasure park. The total area of ​​the park is 33 908 square meters.
The total area of ​​landscaping – 22 925.7 sq.m.
