Globa Park

Next to my house is the truly impressive Globa Park. Coming from the UK and being use to parks being wide open spaces where one could play football, walk a dog in the wide open expanse and, a few years ago now mind, play on the swings and slides (or for some teenager swig cheap cider on said swings and slides). Here in the Ukraine the most obvious difference is the amount of tress that take up space across the whole of the park,  they are everywhere and are only broken by the river, paths and occasional cafe's and hot dog stands.

In addition to this there are also a variety of weight training equipment and gymnastic materials ranging from pull up bars up to machines that use your own weight as the resistance for using your arms of legs. There is also the highly impressive children's concert centre located next to the lake in the middle of the park. It is a very impressive building which hosts performances each weekend. Finally, perhaps the strangest item in the park is the railway that runs round the perimeter of the park. It doesn't connect to any other train service and seams to be primarily aimed at young children. It is very strange to see it at weekends running round and blowing it's whistle to move people out of the way.

I will post some more photo's of other elements of the park when I can.
