This project is one of the winners of contest «We are the city», which is annually carried out by the PJSC «Zaporizhstal». The organizers have received the grant in the amount of 100 thousand hryvnyas on development of the project.
Park creation was carried out in the context of the project «Green Park for Zelenyi Yar» by public ecological association “Zelenyi Ruh of Zaporizhzhya” with support of the “Zaporizhstal” Steel Works. In total only for three months, a new and well-managed park has appeared instead of old neglected park, as a result of joint efforts and active help of not indifferent citizens of Zaporozhye. During realisation of the project, volunteers have assembled sports training machines, children’s play set, benches, have laid footways, and also have arranged light illumination in the park.
