Miskyi Sad Park is one of the gorgeous forested parks that sit along the Dnieper River in Kyiv. It sits just north of Mariyinskyi Park.
Miskyi Sad Park, which translates to City Garden, contains statues, a fountain, an outdoor theatre, and food vendors. There’s also a pedestrian bridge over Peter’s Alley. The bridge, at the northern end of the park, leads to Khreshchatyi Park.
Dynamo Stadium
Miskyi Sad Park is also the location of Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium, the historic home of local football team Dynamo Kyiv. The gates are at the western corner of the park, and the stadium can be seen through the trees along one of the park paths.
The stadium opened in 1934 and has a capacity of just under 17,000. Dynamo Kyiv plays some of their home games there and the rest at Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex. In 2002, it was named after Valeriy Lovanovskyi (1939-2002), a former player and coach for both Dynamo Kyiv and the USSR national football team who died earlier that year.
