Community police officers helped turn a vacant lot into a modern park in the Avtozavod district.

      There used to be an abandoned vacant lot near building No. 54 on Kosmicheskaya Street in the Avtozavodsky District, but thanks to the support of social district officers this area has been transformed into a cozy park. The public space has become popular not only with children and adults, but also with pet owners, as a fenced area for dog walking and training was created nearby.

      The project was made possible thanks to city residents’ participation in the federal program "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment." Social district officers helped organize the collection of signatures — more than five thousand people voted for the project.

      The park is located in a busy part of the district. Nearby are apartment buildings, two schools, two kindergartens, a sports school and a city hospital. According to local resident Natalya Sintsova, the site used to be a marshy area where reeds even grew. When a social district officer came to her home to conduct a survey, she, as a mother with children, happily supported the idea of creating a landscaped space.

      Another local resident, Serafima Barmina, admits that there used to be mud and a dump here, and now it’s an excellent place for walks.

      “My child only goes here. It’s sport, fresh air, and safe recreation. Children from all over Kosmicheskaya and Monchegorskaya come here,” she said.

      According to social district officer Tatyana Khramtsova, residents worked together with the Avtozavodsky District administration on the park project and discussed it at public meetings. The head of the Avtozavodsky District, Alexander Nagin, noted that the designers tried to take into account all the residents’ wishes. As a result, pedestrian paths, a pump track, a sports area for basketball and tennis, a children’s playground, benches and pergolas have appeared in the park. About 100 new lights have been installed, and trees and shrubs planted.

      “Now every Avtozavod resident can come here to exercise, walk with children, or just relax. Residents are very grateful for this space,” Tatyana Khramtsova shared.

      Social district officer Valentina Mironova added that the dog area, which was also created at the request of activists, is very popular with residents. There are plans to add lighting to it.

      “You can just walk your pet here, or train with it,” she said.

      Work on the park was completed in the summer of 2024. In total, last year 29 public spaces were renovated in Nizhny Novgorod as part of the "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment" program. Most of them are located in the Avtozavodsky District, one of the most densely populated in the city.

      From 2018 to 2024, 718 public areas and 3,400 residential courtyards were improved in the Nizhny Novgorod Region. Since 2025 the program has been implemented as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life," aimed at developing a quality urban environment across the country.
