One of the biggest and most beautiful parks in Chişinău is the "Parcul Valea
Morilor" (Valley of the Mills Park). In the middle of the park is a big
lake with the same name as the park and it is surrounded by meadows and forests.
The coordinates point to one of the entrances.
"It is a park in the Buiucani district of the capital. It was
established on the initiative of L. Brezhnev in 1950 and was originally
called 'Central Park of Culture and Rest of the Leninist Commune'.
The park is located on the shore of the Mill Valley Lake and covers
an area of 114 hectares, the lake having an area of 34 hectares. The park
was designed under the direction of the famous architect Robert Kurz.
On the territory of the park there is a summer theatre – the Green
Theatre, with a capacity of 5000 seats under the open sky, a day cinema, a
children’s playground 'Andries', a beach, a boat station, etc.
The lake park has served as a base for various water sports. Three
rowing schools used to operate in the park. There were sports fields and
fishing spots for amateurs. In winter, an urban ice rink was held on the
lake ice. There was also a parachute jump tower.
The park is also famous thanks to the rotunda and the Cascades
Staircase, which were recently repaired. The Cascades Staircase consists of
218 steps.
