The Reformed Church settled in the pace of the park 400 years ago, when they were moved outside the defensive wall of the city due to disagreements with the Catholics. The park was formed in the last decade of the Soviet era, on the site of the former cemetery of the Evangelical Reformed religious community. Then Pylimo Street was Komsomolskaya (Communist Youth). During the Soviet era, the Evangelical Reformed church was turned into the "Kronika" cinema. The construction of the monument to "Soviet Partisans and Underground Workers" in 1983 in this square finally destroyed the nearly 500-year-old cemetery. The Soviet monument, which stood in the most visible place in the square, later became a part of the Grūtas Park in Druskininkai. A valuable baroque chapel was also damaged and the ground part was destroyed). There are still some registered immovable cultural values preserved in the territory: chapel-mausoleum crypt and the building of the Reformed Synod. In 2016 the reconstruction of the relatively neglected historical place of Vilnius started and was completed a couple of years ago. In my opinion, now it’s a beautiful, kids & pets friendly, and interesting park that on a sunny day invites everybody to relax. Highly recommend visiting this place on a lazy summer afternoon. I am also looking forward to seeing the sculpture dedicated to the Evangelical Reformed church completed as it’s still under construction. I also love how the old cultural heritage has been immortalised. Interesting chill quality time there...
Read moreGreat playground for kids. There are two different playgrounds for kids of different ages.
There are many places to sit down and rest. The park is near a bus stop. There are good restaurants relatively not far away so you can take something out and eat it in the park. I have done so with Rose Hip once.
Lay down on the swings.
There's a WC too, but it costs 50ct. you can pay there by card too. It's...
Read morePuikiai sutvarkyta vieta pritaikyta tiek ramiam poilsiui tiek buvimui su vaikais. Aibė suoliukų po medžiais ar prie būsimo paminklo, yra ir po stogu. Taipogi yra trys hamakai iš virvių. Bet jie prie vaikų žaidimo aikštelių, tad ramybė sąlyginė:) Vaikam dvi aikštelès su minkšta gumine danga ir saugiomis pramogomis. Dičkiam(bet tinka ir mažiesiems su tèvų priežiūra) nusileidimo vamzdis (labai rekomenduojamas mano šešiamečio), bei laipiojimo visokie reikalai. Mažesniesiems didelė smėlio erdvė, dvi čiuožyklos ir nemažai kitų pramogų. Aikštelės kitokios nei dauguma mieste ar miegamose rajonuose, tai labai smagu rast ką naujo. Yra tvarkingi tualetai. Nors lyg ir mokami, bet mums grynų nepriėmė ir durys nebuvo užrakintos. Maloniai nustebino, kad skvere beveik negirdėti judrios pylimo gatvės, galima ramiai prie čiurlianančio vandens pabūti(taip yra ir toks). Smagu, kad daug medžių ir matyti pastangos juos išsaugoti. Labai žalia įdomi...
