First, they wanted to build the “Song Theater of Alla Pugacheva” there, after the cancellation of the project, they gave them to the construction of apart-hotels. About a thousand inhabitants on September 30, 2018 reached a rally for the preservation and expansion of the park.

At the plenary meeting, deputies unanimously voted to enter the territory on the list of green spaces of public. At the same time, at one of the past meetings, which took place on December 5, 2018, the park at the mouth of Smolenka did not get into the list.

Residents of the Vasilievsky Island on social networks congratulate the territory on the list and preservation of the park.
