all sorts of winter fun on a hot summer day! - visual story in 13 foto .:. EN/RU

Every child sliding down the ice slide has delight and excitement painted on their faces. That is a real energy-efficient generator of endless happiness!

One may ride down an ice slide on your belly, on your butt, on a piece of cardboard, or just standing on your feet.

But most kids (and their parents) prefer to use these huge inflatable "donuts".

Of course, sleighs are also a popular form of transport in the park - but on an ice slide they become dangerous (due to their high speed they become uncontrollable and fraught with injury). By the way, pay attention to the cunning design of the sleigh on the right - they are equipped with wheels! one can roll them both across the snow and asphalt.

This snowman guards kid's playground. Others look lostly at the paths between the snowy trees. Every day during the walk one may stumble upon the new models - sometimes it's an awkward "attempt at writing", and sometimes real works of art / neat snow sculptures (the authors of the latter, of course, are not children, but their parents). In the past, I encountered cars, octopuses, jigaffe, whales (!), beautiful princesses and monsters ... all of this definitely worth making a separate post. (I promise, one day!) Once I even seen a snow coffin (!) housing a snow corpse. Interesting, but we will never know what inspired that sculpture's author ... (perhaps it was a session of sympathetic magic?...)

This park has two ice skating rinks (and it seems that at certain moments the ice of the central pond turns into a third - free for all skating rink). One of my colleagues in the office, by the way, tried with his grandchildren a dozen ice rinks in our city, and claims her informed opinion that the ice in Victory Park is the worst in the city :))))) because it is poured literally once at the beginning of winter, and later they don’t care about it, only collect money for entrance tickets and rent skates. (Greedy goons...) But the folks and kids still have their fun!
